Manny Paras Poet Ode

Gentle Rapids

The outpour
spouts gently. My lone thoughts
drain bitterly as pearly chutes ebb

Soft patter 
of rapids flushes night
from angst. Though barren stream dives endless

And pierced rocks
lash at my lost chances.
The twirl of water eases love's blow

While I dive
into an evening's pool
like a rapid swollen by gray spills.


For nette onclaud
