Deep

by The Po whet   May 21, 2016


Don't go looking for my heart
I'm a zombie.
And no I'm not a sadistic
nor a macho,
and I was neither born this this way.
I would like to love again,
at least that's what is in my
thoughts;
whenever I'm gripped by nostalgia
...but only for a moment.
I know how to swim a shore
but not in these depths
of love's ocean,
for how can I swim in waters
whose vocabulary is only "evil-ish-ly"
DEEP DEEP DEEP
nowhere shallow?!
I don't want to drown
for when I love
I always love
DEEP.

    This is excellent. I love the extended metaphor of drowning in love's deep ocean and that you feel you are bound to because of how deeply you always love.
    Love is a scary thing to get caught up in - especially if we have experienced its sometimes terrible power before - but I still believe we should always 'take the plunge' - life is too short not to.

    Take care and all the best

    Hello,

    Love is a powerful emotion it can endow us with strength and reduce Samson to a waif in a breath.

    A 'Zombie heart' is one that is dead. A dead heart won't work well, much like the flailing limbs it controls.

    Why is it malfunctioning? It loved once upon a time and like Samson was reduced and scarred 'DEEP' this 'nostalgia' creates a sea of fear and pain that a zombie heart just cannot traverse.

    A well written and thought out piece.

    Take care,

    Michael

    Moa, this is so beautiful but so sad. Its like you are drowning in your own love because you have so much to give.

    My advice is you need not to be afraid but to find someone who loves as deep as you do, theyll be out there waiting :) i know the feeling of giving out love and not having it returned in all senses not just relationship but friendships too.

    Fantastic, Em
