Have You
Have you ever
loved so hotly that
a flaming sword
couldn’t bleed you?
Couldn’t burn away
one infinitesimal
strand?
Have you ever
wanted so much that
swallowing all the
stars from heaven
would leave you
aching with
thirst?
Have you ever
needed so much that
you’d soar
cold frozen naked
to the dark shadows
of bleak
Neptune and die
over and over again?
Have you ever
desired so much that
your body
trembles and quakes
shivers and shakes
planets from
galaxies?
I have
I do
every single moment
this love
swallows me whole
until I become
its very essence
substance
effect.
