Quicksand

A Poem by Sam Harty

with each word I say to you
I feel myself being taken
down by the undertow
below the boggy mire
as I struggled to say
just the right thing
I find myself sinking
trapped knowing inevitably
I'm helpless as each word
provides more of a struggle
into the quicksand
of our broken love

A heart touching love song like heavy wind and dried leaf. Excellent poem 😄

About

Poet since age 7. I love words. You would think as many times as words have wounded me I would hate them but really I respect how words can be a blanket or a sword. more..
