Water Down

Tear up the sky baby
pour the water down
the sound is falling
hear its feet trace my map
into the slide of mud
wrapped in hard down rock
oh rock me with the music
of your liquid breath

dimple darling the street
with rivers filling up into the dark
delivery comes from your potent mouth
as it crumbles the blush of dusk
with stakes that jam the horizon
down into the cinnabar crack of tomorrow

Don’t whisper it’s too late
and I have yearned for sound of tin drums
to make music like your hands in my mind
feed me baby with you patter I’m starved
and rocking in a boat made of splinters
‘til I drown

Wow! It's always a ride, to read one of yours! This one so fun and offbeat and serious at the same time......just brilliant.

Makes PERFECT sense to me, Martie.
It's been raining here for a couple of days now,
and I'm absolutely LOVING it!  The rain is VERY good for me.
Love this, Martie.  Hugs to you...

ROCK ME ON THE WATER!!!!!!!!!!

RAIN SOME MORE POETRY ON US BABY!!

Where the touch of lovers end and the soul of friends begin,
there's a need to be separate and a need to be one ...
it's struggle neither wins.

I think I need to ask,
send me the links
when you write...

I fear I will not breathe
if I miss
anything...

(sigh) Oh Martie, this is gorgeous, sweet friend, this poem bounced around softly and made me feel like I was sailing away on the ocean! (kiss on cheek) This is lovely, sweet friend, yay, you truly set us afloat with your muse, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martie, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
