Flood of feelings

Brain tempest, heart storm,
Words caressing the soul,
Sounds remembering aliveness,
Inflections awakening the feelings.

Emotions rising up,
Flocking towards the throat,
Holding fast with pain,
Kept by a dam of thoughts.

They crystallize into words
Like diamonds under pressure,
Making a murmur noise
Increasing to thunder.

They burst into vocables,
You say them out loud,
Repeat them over and over
Hoping to ease the sorrow.

No relief, no alleviation,
The pain is still there
Enhanced by the futility
Of a vain effort of saying.

You finally surrender,
Accept the soul defeat,
Receive each sweet sound
Like a sword in the heart.

Each note, each inflection
Gives as much pleasure
As agony and torment
And you're still hungry.

You feel like dying over and over
Feeling more lively than ever,
Knowing there's no hope
But trusting more the future.
