The Seas of You
The words won’t come today, nor did they yesterday, or the day before that. So I reblog, because I’m always in fear of drowning.
I try to draw a breath
but my lungs won’t expand
to allow it
A wet veil has been
placed about my head
and it threatens to cut off
the life force of air
Swimming in your seas
has left me with a fear of drowning
“Test the waters you fool,” says my chastising voice. “Never dive in head first. When are you going to learn your lesson?”
But all is lost in the abyss
my ears are covered with water
and blackness begins to swirl around me
