My Balance 2

she arrives 
parting these prison waves 
the terrible jolting crash 
of release 
shocking noise 
this lucid vision 
of you 

all too kind 
to fault 
all too warm 
to freeze 
all too flawed 
to hope 
all too real 

no more 'I' 
your light remains me 
indecipherable 
love; 
this white blue lightning 
sears the flesh 
but purifies me 
you purify me.
