waves of oceans in my glass

water from the glass seems to swirl
looking up from my work
I find it strange
waves fall over from the edge
I try to identify the source
oceans have entered into my home
why did they deviate
and come into my home
confined themselves into my glass
I saturate my brain by pouring it on my head

my coughing fit makes me forget you
believe me, a heaving chest is the best medicine
to let go of a lost love

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Still having PC woes. Will get back to visiting you all as soon as I can.

beautiful and heartfelt. Love the end.

I think using come instead of came would work better.

that's beautiful, what does it say about me, that I find this sorrow so magnificent

heavy heart
and heavy word
each time I find
it weighs on mind
It’s presses down
do turn it around

It’s only just a stage
gotta give it space
start an empty page
get back in the game
but do it your way
you don’t have to play so heavy

I could only think of an earthquake! But then a emotional upheaval is a bit like an earthquake isn't it.

I like the idea of oceans in the room and in the glass. Emotions can inundate like that.

Gemma Wiseman said...

The image of oceans confined to a glass suggests that water (tears) is crammed in there! But coughing breaks the melancholic sailing of those seas! Love that wry humour at the end!

heaving chest will help forget? No...:)

Thank you for stopping by.

I enjoyed this poem. How creative to make a poem about water and Sometimes it is hard to forget.

Well done!

Nothing quite like water over the head to bring thoughts to sobriety. Nice work!
