Dying Words

A storm like feeling; a terrible tide;
a huge flood of emotions within me
deluging the edifices of my hopes;
a constant onus of something alien
Bending me down to stare at the cealing
With wide open deluge effected soaked eyes
Words scattered around me, failed--
Failed to help me to vent what I feel
They're also crying and wailing on my state
They've emulated eyes, accepted their fate
I hear the hiccups of my words
Dying they are...
No candle they can hold to my eyes
My eyes, though sunken, didn't turn sterile
My eyes work where my words fatigue
They've kneeled down to these two rich wells
No guess when this gushing river stops flowing
And saves the world from drowning...
I'm afraid if it never does
There'll be a deluge of Noah,
But no one will survive this time,
Everything will get drowned
No life: nothing and none
I'm afraid there'd be such devastation...
