We always have sleepovers where we never sleep But this time was different, made me turn off the tv The lights were shut off, the music null and void All signs of sound and sight the room was completely devoid Of anything to see And anything to feel The lack of normalcy made it so much more real As the river began to flow you could hear the waves lapping Against the throne where I sat Both panting and gasping Temporary blindness to the eyes rolling To the back of the alley of my mind A new kind of bowling Where the pins are knocked down And theres more than just a few strikes Yikes! I manage to say, as I beg and plead for a new game to play Clothing and limbs thrown every which way As we climb the mountain together Higher and higher Peaking and heightened Stimulated, shaking Happy, frightened I try to keep quiet but out forces the sound The echoes of silence replaced by whispers and growls And with all the forces of nature My body violently crashes down From a roaring waterfall Into a humble puddle I catch my breath And on come the lights And the mess we made will stay, like me, the night
