Treading water, seas away - <br />I hear you whispering into waves, <br />Mouthing a forgotten name <br />Along the meeting of moving lips. <br />A serene dream, lashed into sudden, <br />Tongue-biting, heart-thudding fury. <br />The winds bind you to reality - <br />You are rendered volatile, <br />From breast onwards, you, <br />Yoke upon a headless land, <br />No longer do you caress the sharks; <br />You are destined to claw at throats.<br /><br />Stefanie Fontker<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/thalassa/
