☆ where can i find the words? ☆

i want my words on a string

like beads on a necklace

tied up in pretty formations

like the laces on my sneakers 

i want to hold the words

in the pool of my hands

they all melt into colorful liquid

as i watch them stream from my palm

and in between my aching fingers

i try to catch them

as you would catch falling leaves 

in autumn

or snowflakes on your tongue

but they keep flowing

like a waterfall down to my shoes

with such force i cant seem to collect them

absorb them and paint them on paper

they wet my baggy jeans

and keep spilling 

until they cover the floor of my room

until the wood panels become

a pool of words 

hopeful aspirations

unfulfilled dreams

and it keeps rising

up to my knees

then my waist

my neck

until the rainbow covers me

in sweet embrace

i'm forever drowning

in all the words i can't say
