Flood

Sunlight filtering through your hair,
was how my dawn arrived.
It was a strange way to awake
My chin in the crook of your neck
And daybreak a haze of chestnut brown.

Stranger still,
it had wrapped round my mouth
So that i came up like a drowner
gasping for air.

It was as if you were all a flood
Your waters overwhelming me
And it was then i understood
That you and i were doomed
And in you i had already drowned
Lost at sea, never to be found.
