Prose Poetry #1 - Skinny Dipping

💧

I removed the last piece of my clothes and laid it on the ground where you were patiently waiting.

I tested the water by dipping one foot in. It was not cold. The only thing that covered my bones was my own skin.

Shameless  — that was how I was in front of you.

Powerless  — as I was only a fragment in this immense depth of yours.

I skinny dipped in you, let your water caress my soul.

Your wiped my tears dry and lifted me up. Said you and I were one. Therefore, I would never sink.

Minutes, hours, or lifetimes had passed. I blinked and woke up to a warm morning.

I tried to search for traces of the dreams, nothing was found but a warm sunlight coming through my window.
