i felt your venom
in the night
spittling forth
with so much spite
unable to show
any empathy
targeting me
as your enemy
if forgiveness is
what you seek
then give it too
try to be meek
avoiding what you cannot face
will not free you
from
your
entangled
space

melt this moment
mould it in time
sensuously slipping
his arm behind
encircling enfolding
with
eternal
love

refracting reflecting
instant imaging
phantom phrases
winged words
pensive poignant
pacing
past
haunting
happenings
being
alive

whirling whiplashing winds
cracked chipped crests all afloat
fearless feathered friends hover
piercing peels penetrate
bending bushes bow and sweep
hibiscus heading skywards
catamarans metal tinkling
thrashing sails
vortex spiring papers
sun rays bubbling  
crusty sky
day emerges

felt fear fades into consciousness
emotions are plummeting
vice tightens on pain gripped heart
mirky miasma of blackness envelops
molten thickness cloying body and mind
uncertainty
overwhelmed
weighed down
staggering
struggling

darkness came bursting through
revealing more than i ever knew
it was the test
for you and me
the deepest
we could ever be
our blackest sides then emerged
together
both
what a surge
we rose above it
hand in glove
surging resting
enveloping
love

chilling changing charging charming
edging easing excavating
daunting daring detonating
falling failing feeling fainting
heaving hoisting hefting hauling
mounting masking mystifying
mulling making morphing moping
pounding paving penetrating
quelling quashing quaking quailing
seething saving suppurating
tempting taking towing teeming
sparing saving storing solving
squirming squealing squashing squelching
varying vying vacillating
melting molten moving moments
smother cover consummating
