Drowned

Below the surface, she floats, last breath

moments from death

under current held in space

crestfallen, her heart breaks in place

then the bubbles rise

uncried tears surmise

nothing will suffice

blood as cold as ice

I told her I would hold her

there until her love was unbound

but then she drowned 

Under Water

Under Water

Swim.

Swimming here I found

her standing there

under water.

air bubbles flowing out

up in chains like pearls

of air racing to surface

invisible annhilations

on the surface.

Reflections

Refractions

a hall of mirrors

under water

a world of its own

devising so deep

down in the abyss

where the monsters

still sleep

under water.

"Are you a mermaid?"

I wanted to asked

but the words

rushed out

the saltwater

in as I found

myself drowning

under water.

She smiled

finger to my

lips.

As if to say

that whatever I am

wont to do

I should try to

speak, talk

sing

our precious

moments are so few

as we live and cry under water.
