I fear this beautiful thing
has been scarred
by desire.

your depths beckon.
heedless of peril, I smile -
and in; down, down, I dive.

we die
younger
every day.

invincible -
clocks running
backwards to save us.

and your cool waters
so inviting,
ready to pull me in.

I drink not
for fear
that I should drown.

and as your tide calls,
I resist throwing myself
from the rocks -

this time -
I will make you
come to me.

I will wait for the rain
to feel you on my skin
instead of diving in.

[I am]wary but hopeful.
