WAVES

I walk along the sandy Beach
The sun setting atop te waves
Painting the cerulean ocean with shades vermilion

A color so unlike itself only visible twice day
When the blues give way to Hazy reds
The deep ocean so unlike the surface

I walk watching
Watching the waves go from blues to oranges
Only for a moment
Then it disappears
Like it was never there
The colours disappear
Leaving behind inky blacks

Swirling underneath the star studded sky
The waves reflect
Thousands upon thousands of stars
Always reflect

Once in while they settle
Stop raging
Calm
When they calm
The ocean opens
Letting me see it's depths
But only so much can I see
Standing there on the sand

Being safe
Away from the danger
Away from the unknown that Beckons me
Curiosity knaws
Waves splashing at my feet

I walk forward
One step
Turns to two
Then I run

Run towards the rising waves

I dive
Dive into the shades of
blues

The deep melody beckoning me
Curiosity making me swim deeper
Deeper and deeper
Into the ocean that resembles you
The ocean that reflects

Once in a while calms
Showing an entire different world
The ocean that sometimes seemed dangerous
The ocean that at times calmed my torn mind and heart
With its scent and presence

Deeper and deeper I dive
Enchanted  by the many different existences
I swim in the depths
Seeing so many lights
Seeing darkness

The depths that would Swallow me
If I strayed too far
If i swum too deep
So enchanting the passing sights are

Like you
so many secrets
So many new things
As light as dark
Secrets deadly and beautiful
Best left untouched
Best left unknown
But so tempting they are

The thirst to know
That makes me swim deeper
So beautiful The world amongst the waves
I swim running out of breath
Still So Enchanted
Drowning in Curiosity I swim
Paying no heed as I slowly fade

So drawn
So mystified

I swim wanting to never go out the waves
I swim trying to go deeper
Yet I don't move
Can't swim deeper
deeper
I try

Watching myself
Swim Away
Away from the enchanting depths
Watching in horror
As I drift further
Further and further away from the depths
I swim to the surface
Out of breath
Trying to survive
Trying not to drown
I swim up and up
Towards the light that Beckons me to survive
To save me
I swim
Up and up
Until I break free

I break free from the depths
As I breathe
Breathe In the air that called me

As I breathe
Breathe
Again and again
I swim towards the shore
The shore that is safety
Land
I swim towards it
I break free of the waves that hold
As I crawl onto the sands

Underneath the starlit sky
I lay down
As I smile
Smile from the experience
Smile because of the thrill

Mystified Enchanted

And
Slightly insane
