drowning

by Anita Dapperens

 

loving
is like the sea
the pull of the water
too hard to resist
diving in heart first
regardless
of the fear of slipping under
falling into the black
bottomless abyss
fighting against its hold
yet not wanting to let go
safety within grasp
bliss just under the surface
and when the wave has passed
another is bound to come along
