I would like to enter you through your eyes; <br />To enter the coolness <br />Of their blue, <br />To swim in you <br />As the vast dark waves of memory <br />Float over my head, and drown me <br />With a passion. <br />The passion of a blue-grey past, <br />Unknown. <br /> <br />I would like to lose my fear <br />Of that mysterious bottom <br />Where raging currents <br />Pull me deeper, and <br />Deeper still <br />To that place where I will be lost <br />In sublime suffocation. <br /> <br />I would like to be amphibious; <br />To fill my lungs <br />With the knowledge of you, <br />To breathe your watery soul <br />As soft as air, <br />To breathe your liquid heart, <br />Smooth and gentle, like a baby’s sigh, <br />To breathe you in, <br />And out, <br />without fear of breathing <br />Without you.<br /><br />Annabel Cruz<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/fear-of-drowning/
