Like an ocean wave you
crash into my bobbing,
struggling—
barely above water—
Skull,
and send my already tepid existence
into complete tumultuous disarray.
I close my eyes and feel surrounded,
By You.
The weight of fifty atmospheres
force the air from my chest
as I fall deeper,
and deeper,
Below.
Swirling and disoriented,
I’ve now forgotten the storm above
which brought the force of you upon
My Being.
You envelop me and I surrender,
breathing you in,
tasting the salt that composes you
and accepting it as
~intrinsic~
Through my skin, such as a membrane,
energies diffuse and infuse;
osmosis ensues till we equalize,
balancing and becoming
One.
Ceasing to tumble against your currents
and now pulled gently adrift,
all that was cold and trepid
blossoms with the warmth of your
~Kiss~
In this newfound peace I re-emerge,
a serene face dotting the endless ocean
now bathed in warmth and sunlight.
I need not cast a breath that is not of
You,
But the air invades my lungs,
shocking me from our whole—
dividing the preexisting line
straight through the center of my
~Existence~
((creating a me without you))
The sand is warm on my back
and the seagulls dance across
the painted blue sky while you
lap at my body—
a lull,
consoling my perceived loss.
