Undertow (Drown Me Now).
By Aleas
"Look out at the waves, when they drift away. They take with it all
the impurities of the shore. Now, dont you wish you had your own personal
wave?" - Reg. #3
Over an endless horizon
A failing sun falls on her naked silhouettes
As she surfs in the wake of comet tails that came crashing down
Just short of my shores
Like a rapture that came to claim only me but missed
Don't blink
I couldn't help but think
How rare it is to be
Embraced by the skin of eyes that pull
Close enough to feel the edge
But keep the waves at bay
Her love was like water
Undulating the calm past mundane extraordinary
Without having to say
One single word
Call me in
I will drown
I don't mind
Take me down
Undertow.
Over a distant horizon
A failing heart beats again with every second glance
Repent - my rapture is in the hands
Of a falling star that's just out of my reach
Don't blink
No matter how bright it may be
No matter how endless it seems
No matter the ocean can't tame her
Or that the coast feels safer
Because her love was like water
And my lips are a desert
That thirst for a kiss
A gentle caress
On the hips of a wish
I wonder and sift
Through the wet sand's cost
Of never knowing why
I am lost
Call me in
And wash me away
The sadness, the sorrows
The fear - of tomorrows
Everything I've done
That which I've become
And all the times
I missed with closed eyes
I will drown
I don't mind
Drain me now
And flood these shores
I will drown
I don't mind
Take me down
Undertow.

...don't laugh, but I can imagine this being read with peaceful orchestral music, and the ever mournful whale-song, in the background. Unbelievably beautiful, fitting perfectly to what I've been trying to write, myself, for so long...
