Sonnet I (In your embrace I stay so willingly)

othyrworld

Abyssus Abyssum Invocat
In your embrace I stay so willingly
Your curling arms, your sultry voice, you’re cold
You’re dangerous, I fear you’re killing me
By being deep and dark and strong and bold
I fear for life for love for ticking time
I fear no one will hold me when you’re gone
And so I put my love for you in rhyme
And stand before you in the rosy dawn
You rage and push and pull, as is your way
You roar until your face turns grey and blue
Ever deeper I sink in you today
Love and life are left behind for you
Now let the whitening waves rush over me
Who dared to give my heart to wine-dark sea
