Into The Ocean - A Poem
59
Devoid of any thought of Elixir or devotion,
Drunk beyond worldly concerns; I ask the ocean;
To come and engulf me within its arms so slender,
That neither of that drink nor of the world; anything; I remember,
With each passing yard; an unexplored mystery I will travel,
Leave me be; until soon enough; I begin to unravel,
Worried of my lack of zest and emotion,
My thoughts are questioned by the ocean,
“And what of words silenced promising no sound?”
“And what of tears lost yet never found?”
About to stumble but sober I posed,
I smiled and answered with my eyes closed,
Calming the waves in your current I shall rest my head,
As I reach thy heart; oh ocean on thy sea bed,
Drown me within your hearts of hearts where nothing I see,
Take me to such devouring depths where just another grain of sand; I will be.

Thank you for stopping by, The Suburban Poet.
Yes, that is my favourite line as well. I love the ocean; it fascinates me.
Thank you so much ubanichijioke.
Your comment is lovely and leaves me humble and happy.
Powerfully written poem and I liked the music accompanying this in the YouTube video.
I love the ocean...and this hub. Thanks for sharing...
Thank you Peggy W for stopping by, yes, it took me quite a long time to find a music that matches the poem perfectly according to my opinion. :)
Me too PenMePretty, thank you so much. ;)
This was a Titanic read.. drew me in and kept me glued --brief poem but compelling I LOVED IT!
Frank Atanacio, thank you so much for stopping by. Your comment means so much to me. I feel so very honoured. :)
The ocean lends itself to poetry and you did it poetic justice. You have a unique and beautiful voice that is music to the soul---with or without the video. ;-)
“And what of tears lost yet never found?” - You Qudsia, are "the" poet. You are the beauty to which the poet aspires.
Charles Hilton, thank you so much. The ocean has always spoken to me then again almost everything has in its unique way. I try to do them justice as best as I can.
Micky Dee, your comment leaves me speechless, I barely know what to say except that I thank you for your praise. For your words and every comment gives my words a purpose and give them life. For this I thank you once again. :)
I agree with Micky...
Thank you the Suburban Poet, you are too kind. :)
Hi Qudsia,
You poetry is unique and lyrical by nature and your creativity in expression is heartfelt. I feel your talent is more for poetry than narrative and it is obvious in your love for it. Our connection is obvious to the same love of words and placing our souls on a page for consideration. I enjoy your work very much. There are aspects of your narrative writing that requires some refinement especially in grammar and syntax, but it takes some much time to perfect writing (not that any of us can do that- but we are trying). That's what I love about the endeavour; no matter how much we learn, we realise there is always so much more. I'll look forward to watching you blossom on Hubpages. I know because it is happening for me. Speak soon.
I do love poetry because I feel that sometimes a few words on a page say more than any collection of essays. I enjoy reading along with writing, I have been following you quite closely and you are such an inspiration.
Thank you for stopping by. :)
Such kind words, and I thank you sincerely, Qudsia. Keep writing :)

This is really great.... your words are uniquely written... I like "... words silenced promising no sound" and the idea of you laying your head on the ocean bringing it to a calm state...
