drowning in the ashes

in #poetry7 years ago

drowning in the ashes

those four letters make me shiver.
somewhere underneath the river;
that is where we left the key
to our psychedelic poetry.

drowning in the ashes, i
look up at the foreign sky,
catching breath before i sink
in my sorrows; overthink.

distance is this artist's blade,
which he uses to invade
thoughts, ideas, symbols too;
everything that screams out blue.

deprivation is the act
of admitting this one fact;
promises are overrated;
they make eagles feel sedated.

Witty poem with clever use of rhymes which makes the conclusions feel almost inevitable.
