Wishes Overflow

Uncategorized 1 Minute

I captain the words to suit my mood

to curse or then to pray

 

And document those things I feel

to others then to say

 

I choose each verb and noun with care

and place them side by side

 

Reminding all of what we share

those knots we must untie

 

I move the future to the past

the present to the front

 

As what most lingers, then to last

the handle to the pump

 

Juxtaposing based on need

the lines as rivers go

 

Where currents cast my dreams adrift

—and wishes overflow
