I am in the sea
in waters pure and velvety
letting go, floating,
like in your arms which
take me to the centre of the known unknown...
no need to swim,
nor move,only to be, to feel…
this blue sea
There! Suddenly!
Sharks, huge and threatening
all around me!
My heart stops beating,
death is only seconds away...
waving his sickle, waiting...
until the beasts tear off my limbs,
one by one…!
I want to scream,
but I have no voice,
too frightened to move,
I only see big jaws
full of razorsharp teeth…
a thousand knives that will cut me into pieces!
I’m sinking to the ground like a stone,
helpless, deeper and deeper!
Then, something lifts me up high,
onto a magnificent wave,
which came from nowhere,
I’m taking a deep breath and there!
Sun and sky are smiling!
The wave carries, cradles,
covers me with gentle wings,
descends on me tenderly like the night,
owns and fills me,
floods my mind, washing away all…
like those mighty waves during our passion,
which break powerful inside me,
erasing all thinking…
Leaving only joy unspeakable,
nothing else… infinite joy…
With the sun in my heart I woke up
