Aboard a sinking ship
Sailing on a do or die trip
Caught in a whirlpool of chaos
Facing the chasm of fear none can cross
All my hopes and dreams brought along
Morphing into shadows, I no longer belong
Grasped and thrown down to the shrieking ocean
Drowning on my doubt and turbulent emotion
Hand reaches out toward the dying light
Dreams all fading as I sink in the night
Darkness embraces me, water clogs any breath
Eyes slowly closing, approaching the beach of death
With a shock, my hopes resurface, igniting my heart
Flames burning away the waves keeping me apart
From the future, I will create with these ashes
Phantoms rise to battle, I set off the matches

Nicely written poem 🙂
I thought all the rhyming was a bit much but the words and imagery are used well.
Thanks, Brycycle! My poetry is usually based on rhyming most of the time.
Pish posh, the rhyming was class.
Ah ok, apologies @poetboy
No need to apologize friend, I was trying to be a little funny about it, haha. All opinions are welcome here, I did not mean to belittle yours. All is well!
It was nice of you to say that.
The style is nice. Certain emotions entitle a poem to be written a certain way. Marching off to fight the end, now that is some serious stuff. As you grow, your style will evolve. I'm looking forward to seeing where it takes you.
