Silently Drowning

Silently Drowning 

if I lose my words,

realize the frailty of me;

will you stand right there?

~

when I lose my words,

accepting this fragile mold,

with boldness and fears;

~

can I look to you?

collapsing in protective

arms, still holding me;

~

after I have lost

all of my words; then, will you

hear my eyes speak tales?

~

And! as I quiet,

my soul’s chaos, stirring through

maddening silence –

~

my retinas pull

into spherical cloaked paths,

are you still with me?

~

I drown my eyes up –

to the light I hope; is you

dig my strings, hear me?

~

my drowning words sink

But! my eyes spread pages, and

they chatter volumes

~

(quietly then, gone

under the grasp of fearsome

thoughts, you will let go)
