Flood of You

Teardrops whimper down my face dampening

my hope and sinking my spirit with sobbing waves

the sponge of my existence has absorbed all it can

can’t wipe up streaming floods caused by your deluge

the tide of you has inundated my life force

drenched hopes and visions of sunny tomorrow

When will your torrential rains cease their submerging?

Only when I discharge your effusion and grab my mop

and swab and whisk your windstorm right out of my life.
