Drowning

Words used: drown point depth aspect dart frenzy floating clutter ageing detangle

Drowning

As night falls I am drowning in memories
At a point where the depth of emotions
Is an aspect I had not planned
But it is a dart of fire
In the frenzy of winter
And I find myself floating
In a clutter of anger
Laughter and tears.
Is it ageing that disallows
A detangling of self
Through clear thought?
Possibly.
Before sleep claims me
I make one last grab
For a peaceful shoreline.
It disappears
Leaving me drowning in memories.
