I love you, but they say I can't For I'll extinguish you But that I will defy That fiery independence You bow before me and hide How can I kill the one I love? You hate, you say, and run From me, I will pursue Will stalk your every trunk and twig, your every shoot and limb. What you devour I soothe, I cry on your anger My tears will quench your ire Until you give yourself to me My arms and body douse your rage. You will surrender We both will leave fertile soil behind, offspring will grow. *** March 26, 2017 Copyright © Darren White

Ah ... a dual personification, eh. Very clever sneaky of you, Darren. This is, however, a masterfully crafted poem of emotional depth and spiritual simplicity. Cooling waters of forgiveness and compassion soothes the raging fires within a soul. Splendid poetry from a talented wordsmith. Love and peace forever.

From reading several of your poems I see that the way of love is not an easy and smooth one for you. In spite of that, your work is full of messages of hope when things are going badly and joy in the struggle itself. I love the last line of I Cry on Your Anger, "You will surrender We both will leave fertile soil behind, offspring will grow." That's what poetry is all about, a statement of the problem and then a masterful whiplash of a solution at the end.

No one managed to guess the personification right, so I will tell you :) It's about wild fire and water to extinguish it, leaving fertile soil behind for new growth

I love the personification...It has something to do with the tree...Must be a catapilliar or some other insect that lives of the nourishment of the tree.....But I'm probably wrong : ))

Seeds and nuts are packed with life and energy; loved the illustration. I felt some sadness in reading this: you rise to the challenge in all loving - allow each to grow, flourish. Shalom!

Yes, that illustration is wonderful, I agree :) Thank you.
