Passion Without Rein

Let us chase each other‘s urge on scalding heaths,
Like ponies on the gallop without rein,
A deep seat harness cast into oblivion in the spurt to sea green passion‘s cosmic haze.
Equidistant red clouds now they
ripple at the thought of sensual hearts with pine ablaze.
Soaring pulse rate lodger
on the snoop of citrus rue.
Plume of lilac giggles scare the awestruck azure perch bird whose mating patterns seem like beaky pecks.
Homing pigeon instinct gets the better of our maple leaf alliance as we wade through vapid  marshes at the foot of Alum-kuh

NB  Alum- kuh is escarpment  in Iran 
Pine as human need

The first part made me think of Wuthering Heights I think there were marshes in that story too? Can't believe I may have seen and commented to all your poems. Took a long time to find this one not commented to get!!
