The Shore | Elissa Capelle Vaughn

I had a nice stay at the bottom of the ocean
I fell in love with a ghost who was my only light in the darkness
I followed them deeper into the sea
Past the anglerfish, urchins, and eels
We met a Coelacanth on the same journey to the bottom
A giant squid who told us stories about the shipwrecks his ancestors saw before him
Time stood still as minutes felt like months
Just you, me, and the bioluminescence of the sea
A place where no one could find us
That’s what I miss most about the bottom of the ocean

Bittersweet Goodbye | Maria Aspiros - Read Poetry Online by Talented Contemporary Poets

Bittersweet Goodbye | Maria Aspiros

Knocked once, you pressed me twice
A cold-hearted person with a dice
Sweet girl that is in love with a price
Cut me through with just one slice
Since you were so nice

Listened to their advice
Sacrificed won’t suffice
Acting as cold as ice
Am over the edge of paradise
Fooling myself with all the lies

All she believes are her eyes
That only sees the darkest skies
Didn’t notice the angel in disguise
The great door open flies
Just like the love defies

When the memory dies
Still the writer cries
And softly sighs
In distance will arise
Just barely staying alive
