Whirpool of Thoughts

Unedited thoughts 
tumbling 
from the mind's cliff 

A waterfall of words 
thundering unchecked 
towards the edge 
of sanity 
falling into the chasm 
of awkward pauses 
swallowed by 
swirling currents 
of the soul 
churned into a whirlpool 
of incoherent utterances 
muddying the relationship 
beyond clarity's reach 

If only it was still 
a placid stream 
free of the rocks 
on which 
the silence broke
