Syllabolic

by Stephanie Myers

One
person
told me to
be who I am

To impossible
caged like an animal
hungry for someone to love
wanting you that I can never
reaching beyond the mist to break free
watching waves to rise from timid waters

Waters rising from the storm incoming
lightening strikes rising hairs on my neck
sulfuric smell burning my nose
watching you walk side the beach
arms opened to embrace

You see through the dark
your eyes blinded
intense green
closing
them

Really like the use of water imagery in this. Perhaps some later expansion of this type of imagery to beginning and end to give it strength.
