Born shackled with globe sized
yoked millstone around my neck
rivaling the world Atlas shrugged,

Battlestar Galactica pièce de résistance
ear splitting discordant cacophonous din.

Simultaneously analogous twin tower

Upon lovers
it dawned
that Love

everything
and it comes
in all forms

everyone
there is not
“just one”
but rather
many
for in the land
of Love is Plenty
and simply put
it’s fit
quite right

“one love”

and many
were smitten
with a light
but then….

a penance veil
kissed hard, 
unrepentant
rippling ponds...

How could you possibly understand?
My heart yearns…
My heart burns…
Famished and fainting
Waiting….
For a glance
For a word
Written by your hand
No, you can’t understand

How could you?
Intensity is unknown to you
Emotions so raw
So demanding
Emption so deep
That...

In the oceans deepest depths,
Until a Kiwi and an Ausi,
Decided to have a picnic at the bottom of the Ocean,
In the deepest part of the Mariana Trench.

Freezing the sands of time,
The Northern sky with the color of sunsets.

Dripping with substance and soaking wet.
