Love of the Deep

They say

That if

You stay

In the deep

Too long

You'll never

Leave

And you'll drown

So if the mind

Is as an ocean

Should we not 

Dive into its depths?

Sometimes

I think

I forget

To breathe

When I look deeply

At my self

And I stay there

For an eternity

Before I am dredged up

From the bejeweled depths

Once more

And I 

Awaken

Tangled 

In trailing

Stardrops

As bubbles

And bubbles

Of thoughts

Wreathe

Around

My neck

And choke me

Rising

Up

Like my future should be

But no

It's 

Spiraling 

               Down 

                    Down

                          Down

Like they say

It's love of the deep

Once you go down

You never want

To return

To the surface

And the oxygen leaves

But that's fine

I

Could spend

Eternity

Within the depths

Of my mind
