I drown in waves of arrogance
Fishnet conflict, my dreams your sea
Rolling waves toward your influence.

Simpler words reach, and can’t suffice
What way to tell the untold truth
When tides are pulled in steeper price
Than simple words could ever soothe

Grief unfolds on shores that lure
To grains of sand that wear away
These hearty blocks til cleansed and pure
And grief moves on in softer way

But in your arrogance you see
This drowning fool of pink and plea
Transparent soul’s disparity
What is what was and what can’t be

Smile as if this were about you
While waves in thunder crash my shore
While knowing what couldn’t be more true
A simple grain, and nothing more.

Drowning in a Sea of Arrogance

Dusty pink cellophane wraps me
I drown in waves of arrogance
Fishnet conflict, my dreams your sea
Rolling waves toward your influence.

Simpler words reach, and can’t suffice
What way to tell the untold truth
When tides are pulled in steeper price
Than simple words could ever soothe

Grief unfolds on shores that lure
To grains of sand that wear away
These hearty blocks til cleansed and pure
And grief moves on in softer way

But in your arrogance you see
This drowning fool of pink and plea
Transparent soul’s disparity
What is what was and what can’t be

Smile as if this were about you
While waves in thunder crash my shore
While knowing what couldn’t be more true
A simple grain, and nothing more.

Grains of truth?

"Fishnet conflict, my dreams your sea
Rolling waves toward your influence."

I like it, and have foundered in such a sea before.

Try commenting more. This site is supposed to be interactive, you know.

Very descriptive, and brillantly written.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

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. Â©
