Red Rivers

[Bonochick]

Red Rivers

I turn them loose
I let them flow
Drowning my problems
Carrying my sorrows

Red Rivers

No dam is strong enough
They cannot be controlled
I can try to swim
But they will pull me under

Red Rivers

I surrender to them
I taste their bitterness
Choke on the pleasure
As I am engulfed

Red Rivers

They splash over my head
And shatter my soul
They take my life
I gave it to them

Red Rivers

Thanks for clearing it up for me that Red Rivers means blood! I really enjoy these references. Especially this one:

I surrender to them
I taste their bitterness
Choke on the pleasure
As I am engulfed

Extremely visual, the red to me is everywhere. I can see this happening. Kind of moves me a moist mouth because the thought of the taste of blood gags me. Nice title!

Wow.

sounds like a mini horror movie, very direct poem, and some great imagery, I have to agree with Wannabe, that particular part stood out to
