sojourn of this hearts surge
wave of intrigue spiced with desire
rapturous cloak skin piercing
aching crushing violently shaking
love acid transcending the ordinary
irrational thoughts give substance to heart rhythm
heart renders mind’s composition
a catapult to the cliff edge of longing
a vantage point to see my humanness
precariously climb into the intricate web
a cleverly designed merciless trap
peek out beyond fear’s shield …….. stumble
fall naked on broken glass
it penetrates rips and exposes the affliction
deep infection relentlessly spreading
fool for a perilous pursuit
mocking teasing enticing
braver feet have faltered
these tongues of creativity poisonous barbs
open me up and suck me lifeless
passion’s painful persistence
love’s application my forced distance
