last line blows

Drink From the River, and Swallow Your Love.

Down to the river, wade into the water,
Float in the Wolf singing your favorite songs,
Your voice carried on for miles and miles,
And in the fading twilight I saw your face,
As you painted words into the water that
Would drift into the sea, and always remain
A memory, and until the moment you finally had to breath,
They would cease to be and the water would fill your lungs,
And wheres theres love, theres a current to drown in.

That it does, but overall, it's not a bad piece.

I didn't mind the last line. Other than "Wheres theres." Is the Wolf a river? If it isn't, that sounds dumb.

The only thing I didn't like about it was how you used 'float' twice (Float in the Wolf; Would float to the sea). If it was a longer poem it would be fine, but given the fact that its pretty short you should change one to 'drift' or something. Good job though, I enjoyed this.
