POEM 146: FLOATING

Sometimes I feel like a piece of lead
dropped in the ocean
Sinking to rise no more

Other times I feel like the Titanic
riding on ocean waves 
but a hole of flaws 
bored by their quest for faults
leaves me sinking to rise no more.

But tonight, I feel like I'm just
f
     l
            o
a
      t
              i
  n
                   ­     g
in a stream of your voice
surrounded about by smiling stars
touching my skin and caressing my heart.

Though I fear sinking again like before
I know you're waiting arms open in the ocean bed
to engulf me in mindless kisses
until my feet forget to flee
until I make in you my home
for nowhere, there is, to go
when I'm floating in your love.
