Once a river ran
inside of me.
Emotions unsettled
current, flowing
smoothly.
Lovers lounged
beneath the trees,
nourished by its
movements.
Salmon swam
against the stream,
headstrong and
determined.
The sun would set
then later rise,
as if to say
you should not try.
The brightest lights
all fade to grey.
Your darkest night
shall turn to day.
Reprise the joy,
and then the pain.
Then all at once,
they feel the same.

balance, flowing
smoothly.

Salmon swam
against the stream,
headstrong and
determined.
Once I felt hates
pitch black night.
Scowling madness,
eyes alight with
angst.
Once I felt loves
full moon glow.
Perfect stillness,
each moment slowly
slipping.
Once I felt loves
setting sun.
Destroyed myself
regretting one
mistake.
Once,
I felt something.
