[ I ]
~
If we met
The seas could churn
and earth might burn,
snowcaps melt,
rainbows explode.
Then words might dance
vowels thunder,
consonants blaze
a trail of surrender.
Or perhaps
waves would glide
in mellow light,
and gentle rain
soften the night?
if we but met…
...
[ II ]
~~
Call me blood-thirsty leech
if you must.
I can see
what might ensue
but I need to burrow
deep, into
your warm presence,
feed off your brains
drink in your thoughts..
Dry tinder
burns fast.
When we meet
I might catch fire,
but I must die
for only then
my poem flowers.
