I've got words
All bottled up
Inside of me,
Unstrung chords
Abandoned pup,
Floating in the open sea,
So far away from you
In this great big blue,
I'll all stopped up
With emotions
And notions
Overflowing cup,
Cork won't loosen
Around just anyone
To a paper I took pen
But I wrote just one
Sentence; better said
Than written are my thoughts
Like molten lead
Ready to be shaped into pots,
Anything I've got to say
Is for your ears only;
The tide is rough
A ride on a bumpy road in a cart of hay,
In this ocean I'm lonely
Being away I've had enough,
And it feels like forever
Don't know if ever
I'll reach the shore
Frozen to the core,
I'll be hoping it's you
Who'll be there
Arrival long overdue
Crack me open without a care
Extract my contents
Unfurling a thousand moments
I imagine I'll explode
Or just as well implode
A million things to say
Laughing all the way
Gushing and spewing all about
Shaken soda pop splash, as I shout
But I know I'll just simmer and fizzle
Waterfall dammed down to a drizzle,
As I sit by you
Not saying a word
Just happy to be enamored
There next to you...
