I've never learned to wade in the waters of a soul before venturing deeper,
Instead I jump right in, an eloquent dive into the deep end.

“Knees deep in sands, we’ll wander. Let’s sit engaged in guessing”
Much I marvel your every utterance,
I can’t help but to let my mind stray away far as the solar walk.
Its wings are to be unfolded and make leap,
And you’ve known me all too well to ever even dare coming rap.

“As the silence’s unbroken, the stillness starts suffocating”
I sorrow for the morrow,
I furrow in a world of moans.
'Forever' is a children’s tale made to amuse,
And joy’s never one to fuse.
But you, enchant your fancy into smiling.
And roses grow along your curve.

While I, rue.
We, submerge.

sputtering and submerged. choking on baptism water, salvation salting my throat. a coliseum of lapis and jade, shadows solidly shifting while swimming, brushing, and lifting against folding flesh.

it's sudden, letting the world sink above you. letting graves enclose you, letting rose vines entomb you. a quarry, a chisel, a graveyard - they all shallow out the earth, ethereal in nature and uncomfortable to the nurtured. necessary.
