Damned to Drown

Oh how long I have waited to feel your touch
hour on hour, decade upon decade
the cake layer of time
marked on the cerebral cell walls

The gnashing of teeth, calcium crumbling
into the chasms of the mouth
clenched, as is the rodeo riders buttocks
a migrane little more than seconds away

Stomach lurching like a galley on acid seas
tears of the captain forced to cry
a flag, flailing, falling and failing,adversity writhing
sinking into the oceon of depression,
be damned to drown.
