A River Streams Straight Through Her

She slow- slips feet in poems

Tears trickle from sky- high eyes
down earth's cheeks to find the stream

I love your long water veils
abseiling splashed self down, 
streaming gently life's sheer sails

Father shows me a true source- 
Tugela springs from plateau
spread out with windblown scrub.
Symbiosis exists here.

Vague thoughts of Virginia
wading, stone-weighted pockets
dragged her down deep to depths...
A mind burst by selfdoubt's clouds
touch my unresistant heart.

There's only one way to go,
trained by firmament's full flow-
downpour your loyal consort
sending mind subservient-
twisting those transcendant traits
through trails of least resistance

Aah, River! You flow fullsome
as you rush, rapids gushing 
roughshod through brim-filled banks.
Thunder hails soaking cloudbursts- 
Storms suit well- recessed levels-
Overflow forms new outlets
shaped by pushing poweshift.

Beautiful use of words. Loved your use of alliteration throughout. A mind burst by self doubt's clouds touched me. Nice...flow
