Submerged

And love is like a river of
 Bringing streams of life-blood
 But when it's stopped and over-flows
 There it births destruction
 And through the floods of rushings
 Into the spinning drop
 Upon the waves and gushing
 Explodes above the top
 And love is like a river of
 Bringing streams of life-blood
 But when it's stopped and over-flows
 There it births destruction
 Below the crushing sinking
 Into the darkened deep
 Within the brooding tensing
 The creeping frozen sleep
 And love is like a river of
 Bringing streams of life-blood
 But when it's stopped and over-flows
 There it births destruction
 Dreaming slips beneath
 Hope is lost to the flow
 The flooding of wanting
 Asunder, confronting
 Everything now submerged
 And love is like a river of
 Bringing streams of life-blood
 But when it's stopped and over-flows
 There it births destruction
 Grasping at twisted missings
 In gasping, rollings falls
 In choking, spoken pleadings
 Of desperate mourning calls
 And love is like a river of
 Bringing streams of life-blood
 But when it's stopped and over-flows
 There it births destruction
 Dreaming slips beneath
 Hope is lost to the flow
 The flooding of wanting
 Asunder, confronting
 Everything now submerged
