Words Will Flood

Words will flood like torrents raging, 
Deep immersed in waters wild;
Languishing in languages 
Of liquid pools of prose,

Each time a laughing mannequin 
Would somehow dare suppose.

They walk along with voice on leash, 
Leading the park with cannibalistic eyes, 
Bending over benches waiting, 
For the next remark.

Together sharing repartee 
For all they may experience 
Between their cups of tea.

And when the tea is gone 
And day is done 
They read each other's tea leaves 
Just for fun.

And words will flood like torrents raging 
Deep immersed in waters wild,

Bragging their experience; 
Their late night, early morning laughter 
Left uncaging.

They will stop with you, 
Exchanging dreams, 
Amidst the clattering of the glasses;
Voice unpacked, and weakly fumbling, 
For their answers;

Never knowing that the question 
May go yet unasked, 
And they be left at shallows end, 
Naked and unmasked.

And words will flood like torrents raging 
Deep immersed in waters wild.
