The Depth (Inspired By Cesar Cantu)

.
                                                   how far down...
                                                                     for once too far 
                                 and light growing
                                                       ........(*no closer*)........
                 -panic sets into brains-
                                                   grasping at throats to sustain 
                                   ...the thought of air
                                                                seeping from lungs 
 (like a pin hole in a balloon)
                                                 greenish blue liquid
                   [[[[[[crushing]]]]]]
                                                             [[[[[pushing]]]]]
                                                 D
                                           O
                                      W

                                                 N
                        I
                               N
                                      T
                                           E

                             E
                                C

                                        A
                                              L      Beings
eyes gouging themselves out
                               POPPING
      from the skull in 
                          .......terror....... @.@ life
two inches from being stolen
                and yet the sun
                          and yet the sun
          and yet the sun                                 (O)
                                  plays tricks
on the fragility of minds
                        thinking that we
        are so
               so very
                           very
                                      far
                                                     ......away
                          when the sweetness of polluted air
                                                  is just 
                                  one 
                                                touch away
                       the water {{{{{rippels}}}}}

@.@ now that's something sensational...I mean, really sensational, using the whole context of the word, it produces sensations, feelings of depth, slow-mo grativational law, density...and the structure of it, of course, contributes to the whole. Thanks a lot for the experience =D
