The Fountain

Like grains of sand
Through careless fingers
Words tumble from my mouth
Heartfelt
Honest
A waterfall of simple truths
Cascading over you
I cannot hold back
I cannot stop
Such raw emotion
Overwhelming love
My fears are real
I may drown you in my words
Wash you away
Lose you amidst the verbal waves
I try for some control
Dam my flow
You know my thoughts
I need not speak
I fall silent
You’re safe
In my love.
