I am on a date in this vast lake,
Every breath a kiss that lingers on my lips and lifts my lungs,
The weight of our time crashes into my hips,
The only positions I a familiar to,
Are butterflies and front crawl,
Laying my back,
The water surrounds me,
Pushing forwards,
Trying to break through.
I mount my block,
prepare to leap,
Spring forth,
Diving into the deep,
Water rushes in surrounding,
These moaning pleas for wind.
Sweat diluted in ecstasy,
Nanoseconds my eternity,
Adrenaline coursing through me,
I claw the crystal skin resting calmly,
A surface,
This is me breaking free.
Practices are my dates,
Water is my lover,
Technique our passion,
Winning my partner.
