Poetry list
propulsion
the spark in the tinder
dynamite turbulence
maelstrom unharnessable
exploding control and
eviscerating the power
we lust and fight for
the fifty day gift is
hidden by the delusion
and blindness of the
head in the sand we are
overwhelmed and eclipsed
by the breath of our lover
who more than fills our
lungs but makes us music
and colour mystery
unseeable firm and knowable
void shift a little die a
lot there is no paradigm
that can hold no vision
to possess the spirit is
all loss the true and ever
lasting beauty of love
