The drowning words

in #writing6 years ago (edited)

The child moves his mouth
He screams high and low
Adds new sounds in each shout,
Trying to throw a word out.

When he finally reaches one
his fairy godmother warns:
"Each idle word that you say
Will flood gradually your den".

Dances the child happily
With the sea down his feet

The teen talks flippantly,
He lies and sneers blithely
he whispers to the lust
he laughs, blasphemes, insults.

As noses given to lying,
The tide of words is rising.
It´s passing now the knees
And even beyond the hips.

Dances the teen casually
With the sea up to his hips

The adult instructed and warned
In terms of production is solved.
But the breath of the tailwind
Takes more water to the mill.

He turns from left to right,
He looks to all the sides.
The things that fill his eyes
Force him to pay the price

Dances the adult busily
With the sea by his cheeks

The elder wrinkled by dampness
Is mostly sunk into silence.
But in dreams says something,
Seems an old fool rambling.

So he wakes up like a rose
With the water up his nose.
Another word will fill his den.
Nothing to do, he asked for help.

Dances the body flatly
With the waves of his sea.
