I want you.

Like the dessert wants the sun;

Like the ocean craves the rain.

You’ve swam here more than once.

Though nowhere near my soul,

You swim.

Yet mystery grows and grows

Like algae in a river.

The surface so easily understood;

But the depth is black and dark and rarely seen.

“Let it swallow you”
