seasickness

rolling and capsizing into the waves, submerged in ill feelings
the plague of nausea splashing over the decks of this afternoon

we could have just waited for things to change, the more time spent forcing things to happen just was a waste of energy, frail little bodies blend together forcing themselves into being just one, the perfect circle that remains unobtainable even in the most melting settings, to sink into each other, to merge seamlessly by unnatural means only pushed us further away from one another, we're barely within reach now

girls cry too much,
leaking all over the place,
leaving puddles across the earth,
overflowing the oceans,
setting the rivers into riots,
the emotional unburdening,
no man will understand

for all that was said and the nothing that was done
i'd weave the ribbons into countless chinese handcuffs
to trap, to ensnare all of the hands refrained from love
the idle monsters of the century held captive in greed
a zoo of dragons and burning papers lanterns water logged
and the dancing fingers connected permanently in bondage
are all on the center stage of the performance arena
dying now to be free and moving with their lost purpose

swim back
