Until The Waters Flow Again
 

 
Like ice, I'm transfixed
                        my fate written within her
                                                deep drowning pool eyes
 
    hither she calls me
    I splash forth through a puddle
    she laughs with menace
 
        laughter sooths me while
    turning my sense into love
    oceans seek my soul
 
        River flows swiftly
    with my life's cells- tsunami
    waterfall turns red
 
      thunder sometimes lies
    but lightning always seeks truth
    drenched in blood, I wait
 
      the sky fills with light
    I burst forth with my secret
    love drains from my veins
 
      
bones lay in repose
 the ocean has no mem'ry
                                              deserts once knew seas
