UNTITLED

Water makes rivers and rivers make life
Life makes me empty or borrows too much

Last time you told me things
Mellow golden words in flight

That landed on my heartstrings
Made me wonder made me cry

The tears of day we met, torrents
To rivers and rivers make life

Life makes me empty
I beg you to fill.

UNTITLED

I wanted to stop writing your name
But then I'd have to say it.

Wanted to stop singing our song
But then I'd have to play it.

I watched the wave roll out
And the riptide pull you in.

Everyone winced in horror
I could only grin.
