Landed.    on a whirlwind.    of...enigma?

Inside, thoughts bloom from abstraction

Falling around me like, like...hungry...leaves!

Entangling me with wonder.

Launched into your passion,

Intoxicated, har…dly…brea…thing-

SCREAMING

Ex-pi-ring-in-your-arms.

laid low, ravaged by your sight,

infused with anger desolate.

felled sure, ravaged by your might,

entrapped, for you to immolate.

Lead into a desert of idyll,

Irrational with jaws that tear.

Forged a soul in fire of contrition,

Embraced your thorny stem with care.
