Poem #1

Silent but lively
another place
just for me
glistening and soft like fabric
talking to sea life like it's my second language

A world doused by water
with the radiant life under the sea
bright like the heavens
bubbles pop and squeak
the current moves ever so lightly

Calm but life taking
waves crash and bash
yin and yang in perfect harmony
living in this place is carefree
just the right place for
destiny

Breathtaking to see
more beautiful than Angelina Jolie

flying faster than a bee
more weightless than space itself
that's what living in the sea means to me

Poem #2

So much adversity
Weighing me down
My heart aches all over
But here; I seek immunity
Under the water, I am wispy
Free, floating

Perched on this underwater ledge,
Feeling the cold current,
I ponder our divergence
Seeking release from the sorrow

Glowing, warm, waves of light
Ripple beyond the water
Mimicking a giggle and grin,
Conflicting my descent,
Encouraging me to return

Inevitably, waves crack,
Staining the life above with turmoil.
Cold, grips my heart
And the weight recaptures me
Even the peace of the water
Can’t make the damage recede
Unwillingly, I resurface for air

Persistent in my pursuit,
I return to the depths
Until nightfall; a final resurfacing
Finds pale moonlight
Casting hope on the shore

I see love and reach
Yet, it is too far
Unable to see me
Unwilling to hear me
Dictating isolation
