Such a lovely and beautiful poem. You should publish some of these.
Oh river, carry me away.
Far, far away;
Nothing is left for me here.
With your cold, rapid waters,
carry me quickly away from here.
Over the many rocks I shall not notice;
the waters chill my skin until I’m numb.
Carry me away to a better life.
Anywhere is better than here.
With your swiftly charted waters,
oh river, carry me away.
Such a lovely and beautiful poem. You should publish some of these.
The poem has a sombre mood to it. You must have been sad when penning it down.
We all have those days. Sometimes you just wish you could go away.
The title is very apt. Truly descriptive of the poem.
This is the first of your poems I have read. I must say I’m impressed!
This poem is written from the heart. It is an expression of deep sorrow.
I feel like the poem is not complete. Where is the rest of it?
I like the rhyme scheme. It is a simple yet powerful poem.
I can see the deeper meaning of this poem. So very touching!
This is a lovely poem. I’d like to see more of your poems.
Quite a lovely poem I must say. I hope to be carried to a better place, a better life, but not death not now.
It is a fantastic and a cool poem. The best aspect in it is that it has the creativity in it.
This is a lovely poet Tom. Your creativity sense will not die. Bravo my choice man.
Sometimes we all want to be washed away. I like to think when we die our soul gets carried away to a new life-form.
This is great poem, as if it’s easy to run away with everything. An escape to difficult times. How I wish escape is easy.
I forgot how many times I felt exactly like the words in your poem… thanks for sharing Tom
At this time of the year, everyone is hoping for a good life with no stress. Life has become so hard.
I need a better life and place too, I wish I will have someone carry me there. Nice poem Tom
I the river would carry me away, I wonder where it will lead me. I hope for a place better than where I am now.

Oh Thomas of many talent. Lovely poem, I am thinking of turning it to a Christian poem adding some Christ/Lord into it☺️
A very nice poem indeed. This poem has enchanted me and it is so nice to the ears.
Hmmm, this poem seems to show someone who was desperate in his life. And hope there is a miracle to change it for the better. Hopefully I am right :).
A free verse poem huh??? Are you trying to run away from who or what? Anyway, we all felt like this one time or the other. This is very good and really cool.
Thank you for this touching poem. I can relate to it on a high level.
