Parasitic Plant

i touched your leaf
then ran away
and some of you 
came home with me
parasitic plant
how i feel 
is how you see
a blade of grass
without a leaf
a buried soul
within a root
a beating heart
inside the tissue
of a vine
i'm blown away
all because of you

And by your method
you germinate
as my soul abdicates
releasing myself
inside your life
lovely hungry 
parasitic plant
