Quicksand

Like quick sand and her looks
Poetry is deep within;
Not until the SOS moment dawns
You realize how futile your exercises are.
With wanton mischief
I entered those innocuous looking waters...
After I stepped in, out of infatuation,
It stuck me, 
no use struggling
I submit to her ... still and silent
Any effort to the contrary
Would only multiply my misery.

Hi SKAT, That is so nice of all of you. I am not able locate how I can I reply your comments. I am logging from the message mail to my inbox. Is there a better alternative. I am guilty of responding late because of this initial difficulty. Thank you once again and I am sure I shall have some fruitful interaction with poets here.
