Flow Into the Blue

These ailing eroded banks collapsed Through the cracks of a broken heart eclipsed Gurgling, the harder we try, in oceans of sorrow Will our cascading love live to see tomorrow? Courage be the fortified lifeboat That rescues our wreckage afloat Carry us through sobs of emotional drain Flush away all bitter unforgiven stain Long soaked in cold disappointment Turmoil smashing jealousy’s battlement Splashing in turbulence of hurled insults A sunken love boat the end result Faith, are we doomed like the Titanic? The signs tell me I should start to panic That sinking feeling when you’re lost at sea Blue is all I can be, blue is all I can see Julia Ward’s A Deluge - Poetry Contest Thabang Jan Ngoma 29.08.2016
