STEEL AND SILK

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 the dew My steely silken love refreshed from your flowered stickiness ©GhairoDaniels2017
