Maritime Vision

I wake to the scream of my alarm

pulled from underwater, ripped from your arms;

I am dragged out of the sea, I want to go down;

I want to go back to your touch, let me drown.

I am clawing at these wooden piers

desperate to sink, my goal is raindrop-clear;

the waves promise to embrace me far below;

I am wrenched into reality, just let me go.

I am lugged across the raging shore

I ache to fall to your kiss, suffocate in the encore;

fill my lungs with saltwater, I want to descend;

I crave your muffled voice, my sweetest friend.

I wake in a shock and I cannot sleep

hauled from your call, yanked from your deep;

curling earth under nail, howling like the wind;

I am tearing at my watery heart, I want to mend.

I yearn to be wrapped in your cold caress

I am jolted awake, scratching at my burning chest;

I am begging, let me run back to the misty sea;

breathing in the rolling froth, I want to cease to be.

Powerful, wonderful use of words. I had to read again.
"I yearn to be wrapped in your cold caress

I love the above lines. Thank you Anna for sharing the amazing poetry.

A heart of sea and a mind of sky - a love which is a mix of sea and sky; that's what your piece is. Nicely written :)

I won't go into detail but this represents the fight for what one wants in a metaphorical way to me. This is a little different than your others. (for me).

I like the metaphors and poem. A few words seemed out of place but overall a nice read.
