Sunken




my heart sinks
as the sink fills
with 8 wine glasses
6 coffee mugs
2 knives

and I’m still…

sitting with cup in hand
wafting away the smoke
engulfed in unbecoming
emotions

without you
my sink fills
as my heart sinks

and I’m still…

sunken
without you.

  5. And your words have that sunken feel to them. I am liking how this is written, how she can be read and how this feeling sinks within oneself.

  6. Doesn't it seem Kay, as if the space of emptiness always gets replaced with something, and fullness always empties...as if they are only displaced, and replaced? Perhaps the fill and empty are not as we wish, but they are ever revolving. ((Hugs))

  10. I smiled as I read this, even though the image and the words promote opposing feelings. Sink, sinking , sunken… so well used here. The lower the word took me, in the end after sinking all the way, I had to smile.
