Drown

I howl my pain

Dirge of agony

Throes strained sense

Awareness

Aque rides my body on

Down a beaten path

Days spill into one

Bleary hours melt

I yield yet no avvail

Spasms whip me further

Torn by a fever

Ravished without death "Remember thee! Ay, thou poor ghostwhile memory holds

A seatIn this deistracted globe." - Hamlet

And in this river

I'll drown

By this cold river

I lay

Spitting entreatiesin servile breath

And in this river

I'll be undone

I hear the billows

Through stranger thoughts

Though stricken I aspire

To drown

Driven to greet death

Trailing to the waters edge

I heave myself below

The waves

And cold water fills me

Seamless, without end

I blend from transience

Away from strain

In swaying light I flow

With the tides

To expanse of the ocean floor

In languid haze I drift

Sonorous through halls

Echoes the ageless

Soliloquy of the sea

Ancient beyond time

I travel untold vistae

With lifeless eyes
