tsunamI

the water comes to me

so i drown, 

so i drown

in such deep blue 

the multi-colored striped fishes 

circling around my head 

like a shining halo 

tangled in the masses of my black 

hair 

and above my face, 

turned towards clarity: sunlight

sunlight,

sunlight; 

how blindingly beautiful 

it caresses my cheekbones 

a parting gift 

before i am pulled down into the depths 

by the arms that love me.
