Oh, my spurn of this shallow swamp!
For: it is not extensive enough
to blanket my body, when I fall over,
clomp- ing through the mud so rough.
To, under starlit sky, be submerged-
fully- on a summer night-
a desperate attempt to purge-
this black matter from within my blood
and these negative emotions that do flood-
my mind from time to time,
these sinister thoughts of mine.
Under muddy waters,
all of my feelings absolve;
& under muddy waters,
the time on my watch comes to a halt.
It's truly tantalizing-
how all of my pety issues can be resolved:
with merely one immaculately deep breath
- of the muddiest water.
Under muddy waters,
the world's disarray fades off;
& under muddy waters,
I let out my last and final cough.
--
Where is the grandeur
in growing grey, without the girl
you're grateful god grew?
Do you understand how grand-
it would be to sleep, hand in hand,
next to her while she is blanketed
in my old, ragged shirt?
Oh, the stupid smirks:
I would emit without command.
--
Unto these muddy waters,
my shadows follow.
Unto these muddy waters,
my soul has ran
- and fallen;
and into these muddy waters,
I will be swallowed.
--
Just have to drag out the garden hose first-
& run the faucet for a days worth - time. Then, and only then, shall my end- begin.
- Under muddy waters.
