poem 009: third wave emo or i cannot describe love any more than i can(not) describe the mystifying elemental wonder of water

in this sea mist of a life so faint
i am more afraid than you will ever know
swimming strangely
bittersweetly
while keeping an eye out for the undertow 

but the velveteen feeling of submerging
you and the ocean enveloping me
is gracious amnesia
however fleeting
for everything i cannot see underneath
