Mark Anthony Cotterman Poet Free verse

Flow

Lay me down into the river in which both are fed
Lost of control as you sweep me through your life
Where land can leave you (with me) dead

Leaves are draped upon areas you love to know
The water seeps into our minds and does

FLOW...

over thoughts that we dared to choke on together

FLOW...

over fingernails that never scratched beyond the surface of each other

FLOW...

until we fall from the edge and splash until we drown...
 
     forever.

Carolyn Devonshire May 20, 2010 at 7:19 AM You capture the powerless feeling of losing someone we love so well, Mark. There is little we can do at times like this. Very nicely expressed! Love, Carolyn
