AQUA
Aqua
Clear as mirror
Streaming azure blue
Shining pearly white
Envelop me
Caress my skin
Surround my existence
Feel
Help me
Help me feel
Something
anything
Pain from despair
Or
Bliss from hope
Give me something
Give me you
Fill me with your presence.
Please
Take me away
As I take you in
A NEW DAY
A new day
Brings new problems
A new type of anguish
A new chance at despair
The dawn threatens me
with its rays of thermal
Posturing to burn me
and
hurt me anew
It feels more comfortable
In the dark
It feels nicer
when the moon meets me
along with her family of stars
Her cold hands caressing me
as the umbra laced breeze wavers through
my being
I would rather the day not end
A new day
Brings new problems
New challenges
New obstacles
New people
New places
New emotions
New hopes
New fears
New expectations
New disappointments
New experiences
New scars
