The swell before the wave~~~~~
I was pulled, enveloped as the waters enfold
Although the wave has washed me,
to the shores of reality
I still ride out and in
~~~~~Your loving hold~~~~~~

Washing in an illusory tide
Fantasies embraced~~~~~
Drifting up on land my weight lingers
And as the tide again, eases me adrift
The last grains of sand, fall through my fingers...

Languid lulling to confusng cacophony
smothering turbulence pulls me deep^^^^^
Salty searching eyes, no solid earth beneath my feet
You infiltrate, I suffocate, Parameters decease

Drowning in the depths of love, darkness owns my soul
>>>self absorbed, non existent, a receptacle<<<<
Bound eyes, that used to cry, re-open for a peak
Light casts forth a lurid ray, dawning yet another day.

Author's Note: The 5th verse has separated as it really never got along with the other 4. It has become it's own poem entitled "cooties"
