She met me half way into the abyss
we both sunk deeper and deeper
and knew it was a time
of restlessness and uncertainties
our fingers touched as we drifted
extended into lost souls of the deep
twisting and turning in the abyss
as we went further and further down
neither knew we were just dreamers
in a world of confusion and uncertainty.
She wove her net to capture me and
devour my love into hers
how could that happen to a heart that was
broken with delusion, a heart that held secrets
not caring and no soul.
Would we be a match or are we fools drenched
with sweat from the past that means nothing
the plunge is sweet, the future uncertain
we met, we swam, we fell in love.
It’s all meaningless Karma
we cried with the Sirens of the deep
to be together to care for each other till the end
give us a chance to live and die together
in each others arms.

Beautiful metaphor! Yes, we fall together and desperately hope to be together until Death splits us, but then…. wth! Just one wrong act of any kind promptly parts us and sends us on separate roads to some hell of a kind… and then we meet someone halfway down the abbeys just to repeat the entire drama…. Well, this is an excellent first poem of the most admirable poet, Vincent Moore.
Oh Vincent, your first… I would not have been able to tell…! As far as love goes, this is a beautiful analogy to me.
When in the situation, not to simplify but ‘might as well take the plunge…’? You are clearly so much better at the phrasing, this is awesome. Hugs, mar!
Hi Martie and again thank you for supporting me from the beginning. I never thought poetry was in my makeup, yet here I am a Poet writing from my soul. This first piece was the start of my journey into my past, my soul and my depths,. My Muse stays with me and continues to give me inspiration and of course I get so much of it from you and others and am much thankful. Hugs.
Yes indded my first Maria. I wrote this with love in mind and how deep it can be. I took the plunge many times, but alas failed in Love. Thank you for the awesome remark. Hugs
You show so much of yourself whilst still keeping a great depth in your poetry. I find that fascinatinng, since I think I can only do one or the other. You are a very clever, thoughtful poet.
You must know by now that I am one of your biggest fans. I won´t dare to say THE BIGGEST because I imagine a stampede of ladies telling me they were there 1st.
Happy days to you.
Yes I guess I do expose myself in much of my work, but that’s just the way I scribe. Thoughtful poet maybe, but alas not very clever:-)) I am very thankful for your follow Dim, I have a deep respect for your talent as a writer who shows her heart and soul as I do in my scribes. Ah yes I appear to have some lady fans, yet they all are simply expressing themselves in their art as well. I am simply a humble poet amongst all of you fine talented ladies, you all inspire me to write and I am thankful for each and every one of you. Hugs
