My Killer
I listen to the roar at my feet
The gut wrenching power beneath me
Ever in constant motion, nothing is still
How can something so reckless, so unconceivable
Unreliable and untamed
Be so be peaceful to the human race?
The water tears itself from the sand
Luring me deeper into the frothy turmoil
Its lust hungry tendrils dragging its captives into the salty foam
I don’t trust it, the pressure of the water, the sweet air in my lungs
The innocent whipping waves disguising cleverly underneath
Playful in their nature, dangerous in their desire
Stepping forward, my feet sinking into the drenched sand
Giving up a part of me closer to the recklessness
I watch as a gathering wave is born
Trembling from the cold water basking me from the waist down
Catching my breath at the toxic beauty of it
The sun glitters off the water
Contrasting darkness and light perfectly
The water wins me over as I stumble forwards
It’s icy hug yanking me deeper into the bubbling disarray
It holds me steady for just a moment, its embrace faltering
Where I gasp and panic underneath the empowered waves
Glancing up I see the brilliant shot of the sun above water
The laughter is almost un-noticeable
But when I closed my eyes
To succumb to the wonderfully erotic torment I now faced
Tumbling through the water like a melodic cry of hatred
I heard the sooth, uproarious laughter
Of the woman now taking my life…

So odd that suicide seemed to be the subject for me, not a woman. But then, the two are often intertwined...
