Riptide Poem by Susan Lacovara

I dip my toes,
cautiously, now
Into the wake that was your wave
That once unseen,
washed over me
knocking me from my balance,
nearly drowning me
in the incredible undertow
Of you...

I steady myself
on the shifting sand
scorching sometimes, frigid, others...
And brave what could be
a tsunami of emotion
swelling
as another tidal wave
Of YOU...
Comes quick to shore.
I hold my breath
and fall under the ocean blue
Of Your eyes...
