These waves are like
the locks of your hair
how they seem to spiral endlessly.
The aroma engulfing me
is your honey-scented perfume
how I’ve longed to breathe you in
for hours at a time.
And this current is
your eyes
alluring yet dangerously unpredictable.
Odd,
how drifting on this pool
is not calming me.
Instead, it is constraining.
Has this current suddenly come
to a tragic halt?
Do your eyes have nothing
more to say?
Is this all that is left,
for me,
to stay
at the surface?
There is a sudden instinct,
An impulse that makes me
want to take this dive of faith.
But first, inhale.
Count to three.
I’m sinking,
but this doesn’t hurt.
I open my eyes and
how divine
to traverse to this new world,
immersing in your depths.
I submerge further
to the unexplored,
Soak in your joys
and sorrows,
Glide by your insecurities,
Yet I don’t quite notice,
I’m suddenly at the mercy
of your emotions.
Suffocating
in your secrets.
Drowning in your tears.

Tell me this is only temporary.
These glimpses of you,
your dulcet tones,
and your melting embraces.
Tell me soon enough, they will
leave me alone…
and I won’t miss them.
