The Flower

Seed embedded in cool soil, moist air clings,

Skin flows on skin, the rivers meet
Embraced now by life, splitting, reaching,
Breath no longer mine, I breathe you,
Roots move deep, sucking life,
Never too much, immersed, lost,free,
Entangled now, light in dark, giving , receiving,
No boundaries here, only touch,
Does the valley end, the mountain start?
No more self, just heat, so much heat,
Colour waiting, yellow mother comes,
Who was I?
Silken robes burst free, the sky weeps,
Thoughts trickle away on salty streams,
Velvet blood shines, both new and old,
Pulses slow, mist rises, flesh cools, panting,
The display falters, perfection drops to decay,
Becoming less whole, apart, hysterical loss,
Alone, the ground whispers the memory,
Only one mind, two creatures, only one mind
A flower...
