There

Looming down in a corner;
overshadowing senses.
Room enough to please what I feel:
night shivers of yestertimes.

Guess I could run them through my mind.
Being left, but then the pain,
salty taste down my smile.
Counting the cracks I left behind.

Oh, then I deal them in the wintertime,
With a dying flame near to warm me
And Death near to charge me,
when it's briny.

Dive [dip]

I can’t hear you through the water.
The waves have taken me away.
I can see you from the distance,
But I can’t wave you away.

There’s a river upon the sea.
Time flows through its current.
Glad to be carried in its waters,
banishing sorrow along the course.

It is a trap, but a dream
handling its tricks.
No escaping , I suppose.
Drowning away inside the ship.

[Maybe by enduring longer,
the waters I’ve dipped my feet in surface,
Time will stand slower,
So one could catch it closer.]
