i crossed an ocean of hate to love you

sepa

ration

the togetherness

waded thru dark clays & god’s mud

to get to you

shed a hundred layers

of terror

to receive you

breath the flame of desire

kept

behind a cupped palm

the places you left me

to find myself

isolated & free it came back to me:

the winter glow

of being

LOVED
