Mesmerized
By Paula Lietz
I could have sworn I was drowning
body weightless, entranced by the way
my hair flowed, it had no need for me
air bubbles releasing my life in perfect spheres
and in mesmerizing unison
how ironic now and not then
yet I continued to crawl
gasping for breath being once more denied
another wave hit then another sadly
I allowed them their pleasure
I was jammed between a rock and a hard place
jagged edges of crystal and black obsidian, stone
of purity, throbbing some sort of life force against
my naked raw body with knowledge of the future
past and present
another wave hit slamming me with purpose unto
the depths of neither here nor there
am I that bitter that I too find that ironic
what is this source of light that follows
me around, I did not ask it to and I surely do not feed it
I can only surmise that perhaps I should
they say your hearing is the last to go
so intimate the whisper I will not know love such as it
I turned and reached for my life line
