Brian Davey Poet Couplet

Underneath the Bubbles

The lines in my eyes are red-rimmed in sweat
 Burning is the sensation of this melting intellect
  Focus has abandoned to an easier place to think
   Unmanned in disaster melted skin turning pink

The ringing in my ears compromises my own thought
 Unable to pay attention to who, when, where, or what
  Overwhelming my existence, won't follow my own path
   Nothing seems to add up I just can't do the math

Lines crack beside the crow's feet of my eyes
 Belief is beginning to feel like the Devil in denial
  The sands never fall up just down to time one's death
   The water is rising under the bubbles of my last breath
