DROWN ME

won't you surround me with your meaning?

enchant me with the words, pouring through the porous holes of your leaking soul

let them dance around me, the words, like old rusty rustic music sweeping, flourishing, waltzing through the dust and ash of a thousand lost ghosts

refresh me

and let them drown me, let the cataract fall on me, i'll stare in wonder, love.

perhaps dance a little

dance with me?

love, i'll succumb.

a hollow delicate china doll filling with the word, world-filled water

turn your words into a sharp and pointed rake

drag that across the valley nestled near the edges of my soul

stack them, pile them, the old crumpled scattered leaves and take them away

take them away

drown me, won't you drown me, let me run through your veins

quick, quick, lest I tear the world apart with my hands

I am dripping, love, it's apparent in my wake

it's crumbling in little pieces fracturing on the ground

so

let me rip through your veins

let me roar through your veins like a blazing fire

quench it when i'm over

hopefully that'll be never
