The Black Sea

As I lay here

in this weeping ocean

raised of my tears

I wash these open wounds

with the milk of compassion

gently bathing

in the rectitude of my solace

I lax those strings of pain

with comfort and hope.

 

I look to the tide

and nudge it for turning;

This is a new day,

and healing shall restore

this black ocean blue

and once again 

my faith in love And you.

“I wash these open wounds

  with the milk of compassion

  gently bathing

  in the rectitude of my solace

  I lax those strings of pain

  with comfort and hope.”  (Like wow!)

The only line that threw me was: “raised of my tears…” (not sure that preposition fits) at least not with me. Thanks.

You're absolutely right, but

You're absolutely right, but the sea of is made of my tears I'm sitting in an ocean of them, and i agree its not a perfect fit. Any suggestions?  Perhaps raised doesnt fit? It was a quick poem, captured before fading into oblivion. Thanks for the feed back :)
