Ocean 42
Shaiyke Jordan
Poem
Do I wade with your current?
....knowing I'll be the package to your courier,
Recipient: Emotionally Invested Waters
....knowing I'll drown once I open myself to you
Do I stare at your impending Tsunami,
As it bears down on me,
Knowing the wave you bring will wash me away?
Do I volunteer myself for tribute?
Willingness to throw oneself in the deep end,
in your deep end,
Knowing YOU can't save me
if I can't swim on my own
If I dive in,
...do I blame myself for submerging into you
...finding reasons to resent the rain for making me think of you
...my eyes,
will my eyes swell with regret
and shapeshift my pain into an
Ocean
at my feet?
Have you kept your heart
Above troubled waters?
Or
Do your lungs fill like mine do;
Frantically clawing, grasping for air
But afraid to breathe into each other
Unsure if they can get more from "us"
Than "me"
