The Deep End

by EP Ken

As a kid I was always afraid to swim

No fears of the water, But rather the possibilities of drowning

I grew up frighten of the possibility of love

And then as time passed, I learned to crave for it

The desire to possess a love
A love so deep that the ocean would be jealous

A magnificent captivation that I'll just leave it for Philosophers to tell it

From once being a soul once scared of it, I stepped in to the waters letting the fears go

In fact I'm drowning in love, it has stolen my breath
And the joys are pushing me down further
I'm now caught up in its depth

I was once scared to get in
Testing the waters of affection were too cold for me
Terrified that the it's shallow state would be too deep

Jumping in was certainly out of the question
But without any preparation, Temptation pushed me in
Hard!
And straight down into the pool I dived

I drowned in my miseries but my Faith brought me afloat

But as I gasped for air, I reached up with all my might and there was Hope

Now I'm swimming all around this pool
Lap after Lap with no more fear of sinking under

What we don't realize is that Love is this body of water
Waiting for us all to give up on doubt, and just dive into it's promises

Now I'm all drenched in it's wetness
Proclaiming to never step foot out of this pool of love

Ready and anxious to try even bigger things with it

Prepared to dive deep down into the ocean

It takes my pride and all my devotion

It's beauty is unique
Let me jump in
Head first, Swimming amongst the shores pool until I reach my peak

Love's waters wash away my worries
And cleanse the very pains of my past
