Flood

My twenty-seventh dark poem in the series inspired by Dharrsheena.

This is my twenty-seventh dark poem in the series inspired by Dharrsheena,

This one is inspired by the monsoon weather we are experiencing in Newcastle, although I am lucky to be on a high point so unlikely to be flooded, and I can swim.

The music I have chosen is Katie Melua's "The Flood" taken from her 4th studio album "The House" . I love the orchestration on this and think it is a perfect accompaniment for my poem.

☠️🖤💀🖤🌊🖤💧🖤💀🖤☠️

Water, Water Everywhere
And We Don’t Have Time To Think
It’s Three Feet High And Rising
Here Comes The Flood, A Nightmare
🖤🌊🖤

The Sandbags Will Never Work
Water’s Creeping Up Our Stairs
The Flood Is Here To Take Us
To Destroy All Before It
🖤🌊🖤

The Flood Has Marked Us To Drown
In The Water Sinking Down
Our Lungs Filling, We’ve No Air
We Cannot Swim,No Hope Here
🖤🌊🖤

We Sink Into This World Of Pain
The Flood’s A Grave For Our Remains
☠️🖤💀🖤🌊🖤💧🖤💀🖤☠️
