STEEL AND SILK

My love like steel and silk
      cuts through you 
            splutters your blood
                watermelon juice down a throat

Wipes it with yellow silken ribbon
             for you to suck afresh
                  that you may find your
                                 Godly seed within

My love like dragonflies and bees
       silently landing on stamen or pistils 
                alchemising nectar into patterned 
                                dust upon transparent wings

Earth rewards my love with morning glory 
       steel severs sunflower stems 
                  silkworms crawl into a wet rose centre
                              pollen stolen in sparkling dew

My steely silken love refreshed 
                     from your flowered stickiness
