DROWNING

by Morgen Streur

I'm afraid to show you how deep my feeling goes
Already
How soon is too soon?
For a heart overflowing will spill eventually
Over levees manmade or natural
'Be patient' I tell myself
But these sandbags might prevent me from unleashing the greatest flood Heaven's ever sent me...
Swept away in a rush of liquid courage
I would drown to save you one sip of what I'm stirring
One glimpse above the water
a rip-tide so endearing
Enduring til the last moment
A moment ever-nearing
