Euphoria and Other Poems - 9. Chapter 9

Coming Up For Air

 

Your love is like the blue silent waters of an ancient lagoon
Yellow sands masking into the murky depths
Sea slugs and broken shells littering the edge
Brown and black algae drifting submerged in the water like a witch's hair flying through the night
The foreboding cliffs overhang the waters' edge in the near horizon as the flow disappears into the subterranean caves of silence

The deeper I go, the more I discover

 

And I keep forgetting to face the sun
Never coming up for air

I love the descriptions here.  I can picture everything quite clearly.  The more we explore, the more we discover.  Nice job.  There's one minor typo.  "Deapths" should be "depths".

An almost cinematic scene comes to mind reading this. It's spooky I can see literary archetypes in the images evoked. But the final lines will haunt me. Beautiful.

The ending caught me off guard. Your imagery made me feel as though I was swimming the ocean. Thanks for this share :)!
