Pistol whip myself for good measure.
Without waking I know what it will be,
A deluge of despondence,
Random chaos raining down.
My life boat is overwhelmed,
A tiny vessel caught.
Her vengeance is an ocean
And it's seeping in on me.
Soaking me raw with regrets of forgotten promises.
I can't, I just can't.
Horizon and ocean meet, inseparable,
They are twins, eternal.
Sailing forever onward into the vast emptiness.
The two cannot coexist,
Loving one and hating the other.
Some days I don't know which is who
I want to be the subject of her ink.
Desires, black and white. [comments] => 5 [counter] => 291 [topic] => 48 [informant] => deadreckoning1983 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )

Desires and Vengeance

Wake up
Pistol whip myself for good measure.
Without waking I know what it will be,
A deluge of despondence,
Random chaos raining down.
My life boat is overwhelmed,
A tiny vessel caught.
Her vengeance is an ocean
And it's seeping in on me.
Soaking me raw with regrets of forgotten promises.
I can't, I just can't.
Horizon and ocean meet, inseparable,
They are twins, eternal.
Sailing forever onward into the vast emptiness.
The two cannot coexist,
Loving one and hating the other.
Some days I don't know which is who
I want to be the subject of her ink.
Desires, black and white.

A powerful and evocative poem. It makes me sad and a little ill, mainly because I can commiserate so very well to this write.

You have a Spanish Inquisitor working over-time on your heart. The irony is that you are fitting the bill.

Fire that bastido! We are of a mind, you and I; we who ever tread in the guilty waters of ourselves. DR, you HAVE to be a super cool person- no one could write as you and be anything but. Lay that sack of rocks down.

It sounds like you and I both wake up on the sunny side of the street... ;) Obviously I relate to this confusion of feelings quite a bit. This is rather excellent. Strong descriptors with depth of emotion. My eyes keep darting back to that freaking awesome and utterly smirk-inducing second line. Haha! I absolutely love it, and I am starting to think that might be what is missing from my morning routine. Lol.

Ooh, sarcasm, you sexy naughty beast!!!

Good to see you back.

If those first two lines don't light a spark in the reader, nothing will. I'm gonna remember the next time I pistol whip myself, and remember where I read it.
' My lifeboat is overwhelmed,
A tiny vessel caught.
Her vengeance is an ocean
And it's seeping in on me'
Great metaphor, I'm gonna remember that too. In fact, the whole poem is pretty, damn good.
