I'm a strange poet

The tourniquet

strangling my giving life

of a hurt
does one
flee

to save
ones life

reckless movement
cowering
within
the mounds

a silence creeps
as babies sleep

thunder storms like opera

singing to
the depth

to gulp the winning notes

lick the blood
streaming from my life

but to sit
so serene
untying the ropes

knotted tightly
a volume of
bewilded strife

no secrete forest lays beyond

yet creeping roots
they lay
so hidden under the skin


to push the way

screams
of despair

rack wretched my bones

the quiet times
of crazy silent

homes

then let

a Sophia, to begin

to ner say

she never meant
to swim

Shes off!

Reminds me of Robin Hood, the Kevind Costner version where his half brother gets saved from beheading by an arrow shot at the executioner by Robin. I used to be deathly afraid of water, now I know that the key is not to fear it and keep the air in your lungs and you bob up and down like a cork.applause teddybear super
