Watered-Down (Poem)

Emelina Brown

Watered-Down

 

As the waves rumble under the anger of the angels

The words rumble under the passion of the fingertips

 

As the droplets rain down from the blackened clouds

The words rain down from the blackened soul

 

As the tears pour from the hidden waterfall

The words pour from the hidden self

 

As the beads of dew collect on the sun-kissed green

The words collect on the pure white

 

As the glaciers freeze the deepest blue with ice

The words freeze the deepest thoughts with ink
