The Splashing River
The river
When we met
Was splashing
Both the banks
I was
A little nervous
I wanted to swim
In case I sank?
The other day
There was a report
In the newspaper
As he was ardently fondling
The pulsating blonde neck and throat
In a prolonged prelude
Splashing the crushing waves
From the climbing passion
She died of asphyxiation
The rippling sound
Crippling crests
Suggesting silhouettes
Engaging my pen
With vignettes
While eyes focused
At the waves
Gently swashing against the shore
Knocked on the door
Making me forget
The after and before
Are you crazy
A voice out of the mist
Called out
The luxurious river
Is in full tide this evening
Come away
The splashy call
However, was louder
Resembling an ocean
Too gorgeous to stop
The blueberry emotions
Looking at
The currents hitting the anchor
Waters lapping the land
The blue water darkening in twilight
I waited with the key
The lock was restive
As I splashed my thoughts
Many a leaf fell from the tree
Quite a few, however, were stubborn
