submersion
if i became an expanse of sea
would you find my coast a cool place to dip your sorrows, as you would your toes in insufferable heat
would you thirstily jump to my refreshing depth, looking to soothe and attend some unbeknownst desire
would you wade to the shallow depth
and fill your cup with my summery libation
would you cast nearby tropical flowers in my tide
watching them swirl with contempt and longing as my waves carry them aimlessly but gleefully
would you flood me with boundless questions,
submerging your mind with my saturating sapience
would you compose timeless billets-doux,
forming the cursive lines from the foam atop my waves
or would you extinguish your cigarette in my lurking , subfuscous waves,
as you shrunk rapidly from my sandy shoreside
would you toss fragments in my whitecaps, getting rid of the things you no longer cared for
or would the swirl of my water dizzy your mind, murkily shrouding your ability to think lucidly
if the wind leads you towards land
or where the deep color of the sky harmonizeβs with my iridescence,
try to find slumber in the vespertide
allow the viridescent vapor to ease you in my
thalassic cavern
if you sought other seaβs to soak your searching soul in,
know my desire would not diminish,
but wade in its wishful want
