Diver

Although I’m breathing oxygen,
Barely a third is sinking in.
I dive into the deep dark blue
Opening my lungs to you.
I’m lost in blackness losing health
And push deeper into myself.
I drown in thoughts and memories
Of what I had outside the sea.
Out upon the gentle sand,
I had your love; I had your hand.

Excellent cadence and rhyming... your last four lines are especially effective. Welcome to the Soup my friend! Best wishes, Keith
