I am
submerged
in lake of denial.
I hear no words of hate,
see no horrid acts.
Experience no pain;
like a thief in the night,
robbing my sanity.
Floating among water flowers;
hair surrounds me like cirrus clouds and
my skin appears like velvet petals born on a thorned rose.
I breathe refreshing element;
bubble upon bubble my airways cleared of putrid ideas.
Soundly I slumber;
on a blanket of soothing liquid.
Chimeras of lilies and lotus.
Sway delicately,
in my minds eye.
Thus, releasing my cocoon of doubt.
Moisture whispers my name.
I am at peace.

This is really very moving and emotional. Congratulations on the trohpies you have one with this as they were all well deserved indeed. This piece told the story of someone who nolonger deals with the insanity of life with its stupidity and uncaring ways and tells how she sleeps in the realm of peace within the clutches of the waters....gently rocked to sleep. So beautifully put across. Sad yet very comforting in a way. I suppose the sleeping in the waters is like the returning to the womb of mother nature. Thank oyu so much for sharing this wonderful piece.

powerful

Nice one
I am glad I chose this one to be my first read from you. It is so very well done as I can tell by the accolades laid upon this piece you are one gifted writer!
-
This is my first read of yours, and I am so glad I came to read this unique and moving write...The picture alone gives many messages but your penning here, makes us think of the cocoon of life we could live in if it were as she...denial..
Your imagery is profoundly effective here...This is bookmarked!
-
Sensational!
This is a masterpiece! You have an incredible gift and I'm glad I get to experience it! I love the subject you chose to do this poem on. In this world of chaos we wander in and out of our own daydream creations ~ worlds of lies with rivers of denial flowing through them ~ in a weird way searching for some peace of mind I suppose.

to me, this write is what I would imagine drowning to be like...
I know... but they (its always them) say that drowning is a peaceful way to die (how THEY know this escapes me).. think you have done a grand job on the prompt, and the many trophies confirm this... i enjoyed reading this
-

There is a delicate tragic beauty surrounding this piece. The imagery is supurb, and your last line is what poetry is all about, compelling and powerful! I enjoyed reading this very much.

this is a wonderful poem full of imagery and emotion. i especially love this stanza...I am
submerged
in lake of denial.
I hear no words of hate,

Experience no pain;
like a thief in the night,
robbing my sanity.

Wow! I love this one.. You did a great job. The ending does well with wrapping it up, but still leaves the reader with that ominous, "what just happened?" kind of feeling. It's really great.

Wounderful surreal imagry of water, escape, light, darkness, flowers and cloud...blurring reality and aspirations: is this death or rebirth.
hypnotic!
