waves of oceans in my glass

water from the glass seems to swirl
looking up from my work
I find it strange
waves fall over from the edge
I try to identify the source
oceans have entered into my home
why did they deviate
and come into my home
confined themselves into my glass
I saturate my brain by pouring it on my head

my coughing fit makes me forget you
believe me, a heaving chest is the best medicine
to let go of a lost love

Still having PC woes. Will get back to visiting you all as soon as I can.

  9. heavy heart
    and heavy word
    each time I find
    it weighs on mind
    It’s presses down
    do turn it around

    It’s only just a stage
    gotta give it space
    start an empty page
    get back in the game
    but do it your way
    you don’t have to play so heavy

    >> why did they deviate
    >> and come into my home

  11. I could only think of an earthquake! But then a emotional upheaval is a bit like an earthquake isn't it.

  12. I like the idea of oceans in the room and in the glass. Emotions can inundate like that.

  13. The image of oceans confined to a glass suggests that water (tears) is crammed in there! But coughing breaks the melancholic sailing of those seas! Love that wry humour at the end!
