Lost At Sea

by Innocent Fairy   Jun 18, 2012


Seven o'clock at night
and the wind Piercis your skin
like a thousand nife stabs.

The night sky is black
with a dark, black purple.

There are no diamonds,
there is no moon
to shine the path for the sea.

You stare into an empty waste land
knowing the ocean is just past the yellow harvest grass.
You sit staring into nothing, picturing what's there.

The lighthouse beside you
shine the path for boats lost at sea.
You swim your way to the sandy beach,
listening to the waves, everything fades

Blacker than black
and now,
your lost at sea.

    Typos: first stanza, second line, 'Piercis' is supposed to be 'pierces.' Same stanza, third line, 'nife' is supposed to be 'knife.' Fourth stanza, first line 'waste land' is supposed to be 'wasteland.' However, it is totally up to you to change this, I am just trying to help out :]

    This is a beautiful poem. I love the imagery - I can just imagine what is happening here.

    "The night sky is black
    with a dark, black purple.

    There are no diamonds,
    there is no moon
    to shine the path for the sea."

    ^ I can just imagine where the sky is pitch black with no stars at all due to the clouds that have a tendency to cover them. Beautiful imagery right here.

    "The lighthouse beside you
    shine the path for boats lost at sea."

    ^ This is also one of my favorite parts because I can also imagine this as well. The light of the the lighthouse moving back and forth so that the sailors can find their way home if they are lost. Another beautiful piece

    Overall excellent poem besides those minor errors.
    5/5
