Firestorm

Oh such nectar, gilted with faith, a mental chime. I mourn
it in shadows, as subtle as morning, a woman’s rhythm.
We spare a tear, locked in lust, partly unknown. Such a
fragile glance, a mental physics, fraught with unrest. We
rope, to sing, lost in smoke. Elsewhere to cry, deeply slain,
desperate to say more. Such is scarecrows, to frighten a
heart, where yesterday was roses. I approach gently, to
plead a soul, taken for tempo. She cries our nightmare,
measured for storms, for deeply pressured. We grow a tornado,
to feel a pulse, wrestling to break ground. What is this
backboard, a web of briers, choking us softly? We love,
mudded in mirrors, meshed in paining joys. I swim, cave to
grave, digging up bones. She speaks in cadence, to wrought
a meter. Our cries, a swollen swarm, ever to give life. We
hold for moments, to gather words, where hearts flutter. I
love her wild, to break a moon, shooting for a sun. We’re
soon to laugh, a blatant fate, refusing to let go.
