Island of One

(Choka)

by: Iolanda Scripca

 

Dreaming of past gills:

Quiet galaxy around

Bubbles hold my life...

 

Schools of shadows swim...

I am not an alien here

Mermaids do exist...

 

Ecolocation

Travels finding your soul near -

Coral in exile...

 

My fins caress you...

A stranger in your roughness

So suffocating...

 

Tsunamis of Soul

Reminding me of my lungs...

Refusing to drown...

 

Shipwrecked but alive

Secrets buried under blue

I KNOW I'll be LOVED!
