Water — Submerged
Cast Away.
As i continue this junk
That used to be my treasure
I wish i could take it away
Bury it forever
In a hole on an island
Not in my arm
Realizing I'm submerged in addiction
I wish i was not
X marks the spot
I bleed from my harm
This tree catches my rest
I stare at my palms
The regret washes up
My signal becomes faded
Starting fire with remanets
From bridges I've taken
As i sail through the wind
A little help from the sea
I wish i could sink this needle
In something besides me
Just like the ocean
This is bigger than i suspected
Wishing someone would storm in
Helping me to break it
Like a never-ending cycle
Addiction never goes away
Like the sun comes up
For me, mine does today
As i continue this junk
That used to be my treasure
I wish i could take it away
Bury it forever
In a hole on an island
Not in my arm
Realizing I'm submerged in addiction
I wish i was not
X marks the spot
I bleed from my harm
This tree catches my rest
I stare at my palms
The regret washes up
My signal becomes faded
Starting fire with remanets
From bridges I've taken
As i sail through the wind
A little help from the sea
I wish i could sink this needle
In something besides me
Just like the ocean
This is bigger than i suspected
Wishing someone would storm in
Helping me to break it
Like a never-ending cycle
Addiction never goes away
Like the sun comes up
For me, mine does today
Your poem is the best yet Atakti, in my opinion, and so am thinking you should do something never done on this site before and declare yourself as the winner and end the competition now. Lmaf! The reactions from everyone would be priceless. :D

< "to be announced" >
the poster says
"to be announced"
but why put a poster like that up?
maybe it should say:
"i wanted to tell you that i haven't made up my mind
as to what the fuck i will tell you so you'll just have to wait
but at least i'm being polite enough to tell you i don't really
know what the fuck is coming up and i don't even know
(and you'll have to excuse this personal aside on a poster this public)
what i'm going to be wearing tomorrow
hell i don't even know what i'm wearing right now
except for the shoes
i know which shoes i'm wearing
it's those ones with the really complex soles with the tiny groves
that take forever to get dog shit out of
and they swirl around making shapes that slightly resemble the water
at night
under the bridge down the block that's deep and scares me
because i always start to feel what it would be like to fall in
from standing too close which i always do and it would just take
some loose gravel a slight twitch from a tired knee or me
so i wanted to tell you that i haven't made up my mind
and that's why i put the poster up"

High Waters by mikimoondancer
Tidal currents
Torrents of separation
Ebbing and ending
Free flowing past the hidden subjugation
Last glares and glances
ruminations and crashing
Surfing the sea foam into
absence and last chances
Rafting past yesterdays' hours
smooth sailing- moonlit descent
into dawn's ever waking
Drifting..on low seas and high hopes
treading on currents of circumstantial
recourse

Drenched Awakenings
She has not seen the sun
in five years
of a lifetime
it sunk
into the deep wells
of her drenched awakenings
submerged
below the wild currents
draping her
in unexpected waters
She ran away
from shallowness
it was all around her
like consuming quicksand
disguised in blue sky
and fragrant flowers
choking beneath
its hidden depths
undiscovered gems
in every emotional colour
lay on the bed
of her ocean
locked in a box with dreams
and fading hope
soon to be lost forever
for the spine
can no longer
bend to the whims
of her fragile heart
or the dark cloud
that lingers in the soul
of her sunken vessel
where her veins
bleed black ink
for the sea
made up of her salty tears
