Deep Blue Sea

It was so inviting    
the waves dancing    
behind the shadow    
of pale moonlight    
like a lover’s touch    
a promise of a kiss    
rich and tender    
that I decided    
to take a dip    
   
Only a few steps    
I'm already deep    
in the ocean's den    
enveloping me,    
weakening me in    
its mighty grip    
all it took is some    
moments before the    
flares above me    
completely shut  
   
I am drowning    
unable to scream    
as the salt water    
slowly fills my lungs    
an extreme fear    
escaped my body    
sinking further    
into the abyss    
on my destruction    
   
There was silence    
everything went black    
and time stood still    
then an adrenalin    
suddenly kicks in    
grasping for my    
last breath    
of mortality    
   
Under the crimson    
shade of death    
my own worst enemy    
I saw myself    
cradling my body    
desperately praying    
to wake up from    
this morbid dream
