A Dark Love Is Our Fire

'Love is a fire
& I am wood.'-Rumi


A dark love
is our fire
Seduction
how like
perfection
or lightning
leaving sky
All heat
and light


You are wood
I am root
Sparks
split apart
by desire
Penetrated
by flame
and fire


Sanctuary
and
anarchy
this love
Impetuous
and intense
All flame and
fragrant aperture
Deep

Tree
into
wood
Natural
cut up
made
useful
Together
born
opening
cutting
All brilliant
and bent
crying out

Some
say love
is like
being burnt

when one
finds
the possibility
of it

Like a weight
unknown until
the release of it

Lighter than air
brighter than flame
or exotic wood
meant to be
chiseled
carved
pared down
penetrated
broken apart
aroused

Or burned into
the periphery
of a world
or a circle
Each
invisible
shattered
edge

Imagine
the heat
of it


Love is a
dark forest

Full of wood
and flame
