dammed


tears from the abyss
choked, dammed

unspoken words, questions
withheld, dammed

love willing, unsought
smothered, dammed

much to release, express
repressed, dammed

    An echo here to the sound of dammed waters.

    Don't want to make a fool of myself, but I don't get it. Both of them.

    well, songs are poetry too, just less abstract. I wrote a poem once... and it was simple.

    "A cat"

    There's once a cat
    A cat, cat, cat

    Who ate a rat
    A rat, rat, rat

    And fell into a sleep
    A sleep, a very deep sleep

    Soon it was another day
    Another day.


    Not abstract, and everyone understands... so nobody is hurt. :)
