Dark Depths

Abyssal Paradise

By Olawale LawalPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

I placed a foot into river

It was dark and it was deep

Yet rich it was for I could tell

To quench my thirst, I had taken of its waters a measured sip

A sip that immersed me in this enigma of a well

Immersed me so deeply I could see its walls slippery and steep

I had no thoughts as further I through its waters fell

Instead I blended with the sensations and felt time lazily creep by

There seemed to be no bottom to these waters

Like an abyss, they stretched downward as far as I could see

Yet I let myself sink into them with no panic in my heart

For they wrapped me in an embrace so warm and loving

They provided a stark contrast to the cold walls around me

And they never lost their richness as they seeped in through cracks in those cold walls

About the Creator

Olawale Lawal

Words give me life and there's no other form of perfection that comes close to painting exact and vivid pictures with words.

That's what I try to do each and every time I pen down poetry.
