Drowning Poem by Mark Heathcote

Drowning



Your mouth calls like the sands of time
Ooh, I'm sinking
Ooh, my tongue is swollen
Ooh, I can't talk
You're like a barnacle
Oh, I can hear the heart of a whale singing
Oh, I can hear a solitary turtle dove cooing
This must be love
Oh, you're so lush
I don't need an SOS rescue
Because I'm already drowning, I'm in love
Oh, palm trees are swaying
And I don't know what they are saying
But I'm not leaving
I must be a nut for you
You put wind in my sail
Ooh, my tongue is swollen
Ooh, I can't talk
You're like a barnacle
Oh, I can hear the heart of a whale singing
Oh, I can hear a solitary turtle dove cooing
But it's me now left clinging
Winging it, oh, this must be love
Oh, you're so lush
I don't need an SOS rescue
Because I'm already drowning, I'm in love
Drowning, I'm in love
Drowning, I'm in love
