National Poetry Month Day 17: Abandoned In The Undertow

Going a bit dark and thoughtful today.

Abandoned in the Undertow

Standing on the shore’s abyss
A smile, a nod, a final kiss
Swept into the ebb and flow,
abandoned in the undertow

Drifting within a dark damnation
Buoyant against grinding causation
Below the light sweet and slow,
abandoned in the undertow

Swallowed eternal by the deep
Dancing amid perpetual sleep
Tide and time will never bestow
abandoned in the undertow
