Baptize me in your waters.
I want to drown in the depth of your eyes
and breathe under the soft waves of your kisses.
Let the broken shells you wear
mix with the muddied sands of my foundation.
They can exfoliate the castle walls built around my heart.
Pull me under -
whether in clear reflections of sunny coasts
or trifling shades of navy tsunamis.
Consume me.
Consummate something -
before it all washes away,
before it all sinks
and marries decaying wood and yellowed pearls
hidden beneath hope, dreams,
and greed.
My selfish ways are probably the reason this ship is sinking, but, please, just hold me, so I can experience some sort of happiness before I go...
