ON THE RIVER
ON THE RIVER
By the river, we scatter crumbs
and half-spoken dreams,
our voices weaving through the current’s hum.
The sky splits—cloud and sun in quiet war,
their shadows dancing on the water’s face,
mirroring the fracture in my chest.Where do you belong in this trembling light?
I ache to cage you in a name,
to etch you as shelter in my mind’s fraying map.
Yet the wind carries whispers of your laughter,
and I wonder if you’re a fleeting ripple
or a tide that could reshape my shores.My blood hums: leap,
plunge into this reckless stream,
scream if the fall demands it.
The river doesn’t care for promises—
it churns, indifferent, beneath our fragile plans,
daring us to swim or sink.Will our lips, tangled, forge something whole?
No—kisses rarely carve saints from sinners.
Yet in their heat, I glimpse a fleeting truth,
a spark that might outburn our doubts.
What if we’re a volatile compound,
a reaction that defies its own collapse?We wager nothing but the tired hymn—
love’s a theorem, unproven,
scratched in sand by the river’s edge.
The water moves on, relentless,
carrying our questions to the sea,
where answers dissolve in endless blue.
and half-spoken dreams,
our voices weaving through the current’s hum.
