Fisherman, in the Lake of Love

by Everlasting   Jul 23, 2014


Anchor me to you like in a boat going fishing
Let me drown in jealousy within the profundities of a lake
As you wait for fishes to fall for your bait,
to be hook up to you.
And only for you
to become the fisherman of the town.

The one people talk about in markets.
The one people want to buy fishes from.
And then sell them to the crowds
For the fishes to be devoured, eaten
With no remorse

....

alive.

But don't forget,

Anchor me to you. Anchor me to you.

I might just never again let you steer your boat.

    Judging Comment:

    This write has a mystical as well as a haunting feel to
    it. It talks about how the fisherman uses the lake
    to catch all the fishes and not appreciate the lake instead bathing in all the glory and satisfaction he
    gets. Finally, the lake decides to keep/take him in
    her own way. I feel this poem has a message; that
    we as humans at times don't appreciate what we
    have or been given until it claims us. I also like how
    the lake was given a voice, character and feeling.
    Well penned.
