you rose up from the murky depths breaking the surface of stilled waters disturbing tranquil oceans and calm seas at first, a gentle ripple- rolling roiling reeling collecting bones of sunken ships pulling pieces of dredged up memories along your wake of destruction you turn yourself inside out over           and over                           and over into crested waves crashing into my sandy banks darling, wash away all my self control and resistance built up over pent disappointments and picketed frustrations the past engulfs me; heat of your skin pressed against mine lips pursed in anticipation of the last time you said you loved me love, flood my lungs for i think i'm running out of air to breathe into this mirage.
