Lovely metaphor and nicely written it pulls at the heart and makes one hold their breath.

Ocean of Sorrow
Paul Bell said:

Love, who would have it.
Lifts you up, then drowns you in sorrow.
Still, as the wise man says. When you\'re in the water, pick another fish.

The Mirage of Home
sorenbarrett said:

This poem is sad and feels lost. Feelings of impermanence and a shiftless life where no one cares or dares to open their doors. It is dark until the last lines where there is a glimmer of hope. Nicely composed

Edges That Don\'t Match
sorenbarrett said:

Feeling out of place and unneeded maybe unwanted as well. A sad write of being awkward and not belonging. We all feel this way sometimes and in some situations but to feel this way all the time is most threatening. Well written

Thomas W Case said:

This is a powerful reflection on identity, survival, and the quiet heartbreak of feeling “unnatural” in a world that demands conformity.

Washing the Wreckage
sorenbarrett said:

Very well written with many implications that send their messages of withdrawal, inaction, lassitude, indecision, subservience. Nicely done
