[bodytext] => The challenge like a crashing wave Catches you when you least expect Knocks you straight to the ground The under tow sucks you below Low tide passes and high tide comes Beaching you back to this reality Stained and broken you continue on Protecting only those around you Selfishness is an unknown feeling You throw yourself in harm's way Like a pawn in the game of chess First to go and first to die Going forgotten for so long Another storm comes and you are remembered Only to be forgotten once again History has proven to repeat itself High tide sweeps you out to sea Only to spit you back onto land Day after day there you lay Waiting to be comsumed once again The twinkle in your eye grows dim You say you can't take another day But there again you lay Waiting to be swept to sea What if the tide suddenly stopped Would you lay there for death Would you find your inner strength To stand and walk away on your own Without the crutches given to you The support of those around you Could you give it all up Step out of the chair and walk away Give it all up for one The one swept away everyday Enveloped in your sea of tranquility The one who finds peace in your pain Swept away everyday only to return To the same spot of vulnerability Open arms welcome the pain And you search for a source to blame Underneath all of this mess Lies the source of the pain The one who allows themself To be swept further and further away Until land is no longer visible Until all hope is lost You'll then give up the battle And drown in your sea of despair [comments] => 3 [counter] => 164 [topic] => 69 [informant] => longforgottenlove [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 9 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => poets )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
