A poem on the mind (Poetry Playground prompt #15)

I once tried to write it The images swirling in my mind Ever pouring was the mental faucet A sacrifice in the ocean of time

I swear that I tried Sludging through the depths Piecing together every puzzle I’d find Raking the sea floor with the widest breadth

The pieces speak to me “Ahoy, help this boy would ya?” I say, “There’s no boy I see Ayuda, necesito ayuda ahora”

Today not tomorrow The sea levels are rising There is no path to follow I fear I may be drowning

A whimper swells From below.. above? A siren sings from hell? A boy cries for love?

I can’t see him I can’t show you Trust me I’ve tried Trust me I’ve lied

I know that cry I know that boy I think he’s inside I think that he hides

Is the faucet too hot? If I can’t turn it off Could I at least empty the pot Fill it with ice from the trough

I promise you I’ve tried But the ocean holds me deep inside Maybe that boy could let it slide Rebuilding the framework of my mind

Swirling in the chaos of the sea Emptying out the fears held within Fighting for the dreams underneath Praying for the people therein

Maybe the boy inside Would allow me to let it slide

Maybe one day We could rise to the surface Together I promise you I’ll try
