..Water.. Chaos
in her mind
warped
like eternal time
spinning-
waves
a whirlpool
subliminal graves
beneath
the sky
of a beautiful day.
"Have you ever been here before?"
Her thoughts interrupted.
silence
drowning in ambience
surrounded
fragrance
chaos
the madness.
"you know what they call this river?"
query
recluse
distant from
existential reality
"they call it 'Sad Heart River'."

shrewed
eyes unglued
submerged
in depths
"story has it, they call it Sad Heart River
because within the depths of those waves
lives a monster. The deadliest creature to
have never been seen. They say it's the
heart of the river, because like a beating
heart, the way it moved deep within, it
disrupts everything we see on the surface."

fear and loathing
connection
disrupted
the calm
before the storm
"You see, what we see of this river
it's something beautiful to us.
On the outside of that heart
lives a beauty
that hypnotized you."
vulnerble
captive
sunken within the depth
flowing
in the blood
of the heart
in the river
"That beauty catches the eye of all.
Like the song of a siren, singing
her last pleaing call."
"I see the way you look at the river.
The enticement, depths, captivating you
with the crash of every wave. It gets
the best of us all, that monster does.
It's like it fishes for our sight
and locks into our iris
hooking us with that song,
that emotion, that sadness."
rash glares
goosebumps
lashing
out
upon the surface of her skin
seen
the madness
exiting
from within
"The heart of the river
is a monster
I warn you.
And with every sense
we connect to that river
the heart pulls us in
to the song of her sadness
blinding us by the beauty
we've only dared to imagine.
The sad heart is one more deadly
than medusa herself.
You do all the work.
The madness itches
beneath your skin
banging at the walls
of your body
your waves crashing
from the inside out.
The sad heart river
flows within you,
never a time out."
"I promise you can conquer
there's no greater monster
than the one
that lives on the other side
of this bridge-
they flow as one.
it's always bright over there
the monsters swim together
the darkness within sad heart
plays with it's demons of light
like you can too
just find the happy mind river
you'll be drawn in
when the seratonin's released
and you begin to quiver
taking the plunge
into happiness, too."
