The Lay of the Land

The Lay of the Land

If my thoughts had wings 
Or better still had arrows and a bow
To pierce your heart
You will open your emerald eyes
As only seen in the sea of Greenland
Seek my embrace 
We will be the sky and the earth
Filling the air with fog 
Before we make love
Our Titanic love is too great for
Sluggish humanity to clasp
Kiss me slowly caress me long 
And we will purify a putrefied world.
