Sapphires Saved Me

by Martyna   Jun 4, 2006


All I remember is
crashing,
falling.
A spinning array of color.
I fell into
a kind of drowning.
A pit,
a deep dark swirl of hopelessness.
And I
couldnt
get
up.

Weights on my chest,
pinning me to an oppressive eternity.
I couldnt breathe, I couldnt scream.
My mind,
a matted mystification.
It was the end,
I was so sure.

And then,
out of nowhere,
you?
Arm grabbing me,
holding tight to this flimsy body.
Saving me,
reading me, with eyes like sapphires.
And all was right in the world.

My world,
still spinning,
in those pools of sapphire bliss.

    Great job again, of course. Here's my best suggestion: I'd try to use the word "mosh" unconventionally somewhere in the poem, just as a little clue to what you're actually talking about, because I don't think it would be clear at all if I didn't know the story (maybe you don't want it to be clear, but I feel like it would be more interesting if it was). And even if you did it, it would still be very subtle. I do like that you didn't shove it in our faces. Keep it up!
