I used to talk about It, as if I knew It Whole-heartedly. Ready. For the Plunge into a blissful splendor The icy, blue metallic shine that shivers and comes alive! ...but I hadn't realized.. That the flip-fluttering, hands grasped, eye to eye euphoria Was but a moment. I hadn't thought much beyond the surface Of the depth of it... The Darkness. The ink-like, curled up shadow that unravels as it waits beneath So, Wait! This leap is but romanticized, delirious, and magnified. Don't break this shallow lens, for it will thrash up and repel The mirrored, rippled likenesses of you and I Once skipping on the surface Now sinking          Stones                Below... Perhaps... .....we will float.... Before we settle, amongst the rest.

The Plunge

The ink-like, curled up shadow that unravels as it waits beneath So, Wait! This leap is but romanticized, delirious, and magnified. Don't break this shallow lens, for it will thrash up and repel The mirrored, rippled likenesses of you and I Once skipping on the surface Now sinking          Stones                Below...
