Gasping for Air – Promote Yourself

I gasp for air
A short moment of respite
A lack of despair

One second before I submerge
Before the water fills my lungs
Suffocating me

Clarity

Close enough to feel Death
I drown in your green eyes
As green as the foaming sea
As green as the waves pulling me down
As green as my jealous heart
dragging me below
away from your illustrious gaze

Is it hope that binds me?
Or is it despair?
For I cannot tell

I want to release my heart
Float to the surface
And swim away
But Love is stronger than Life
And my ropes are bonds of Love

I am a teenage English poet/writer living in Croatia as of now, and I would like to share with you one of the poems I  wrote lately which deals with the idea that you can escape the place you live in, while at the same time it means leaving someone you love.

Thanks for reading!

The air and it’s clouds

Wispy wonders that flow through the air

Or bubbly blobs that move here and there

Cirrus and Stratus an unlikely pair

Whilst Cumulonimbus brings rain and despair

 

Up in the air there’s a candy floss land

That no-one can touch with a regular hand

Try as they may, try as they might

Most of the clouds come out late at night

 

Then one day, from out of nowhere

Came Cirrocumulus bibbly bubbly everywhere

He flew up and down making mackerel sky

How wonderful did everyone cry

 

Then as the night came, our bobbly friend

Whispered away the early day clouds

Waiting for sunrise to come over the land

He looked at the watch he kept on his hand

 

Drifting away he closed his eyes

Dreaming ’bout a wonderful surprise

As Cirrus did go, Stratus did come

A lovely time, oh what fun

Mystery of Death

When you lose some one to spirit,
Whether expected or not,
At first everything is in turmoil,
Everything just goes to pot.

The disbelief it’s happened,
The anger and despair,
To be taken away is a mystery,
For the grief is hard to bear.

Turning it over in your mind,
Of the things that were said,
I am living in an unreal world,
Now that you are dead.

If only I could touch you,
To feel the warm of your heart,
It would ease the pain I am feeling,
Now that we are far apart.

If there are answers to these feelings,
Then I would like to know,
Does life end within the grave,
If not, were do our loved ones go.

My child you are feeling,
The pain from the bond of love,
You are experiencing the separation,
To the spirit world above.

You have only lost the material,
The bond of love will remain,
Nothing can separate what you created,
For you will be together again.

It will take time for you to settle,
For the hurt and pain to cease,
Remember I shall always be near you,
To give you everlasting peace.

I am not all that far away,
We are not that far apart,
Look in a different direction,
Send your feeling from within your heart.

All the thoughts you have sent I’ve received,
I will see you through darkness and despair,
I shall watch over you and the family,
And join in the experience that you share.

We shall all have a joyful reunion,
The moment you receive that call,
In the mean time enjoy your life,
As a place I shall prepare for you all,
