What is it that burns in me
That swells
The agony and ekstecy my heart.
...
You know
This poet has nothing more
Just this one shirt
Coming apart at the seams
...
It's over -
The orgiastic frenzy of a brutal sky.
In the restive fields now ripple
Wave after green wave.
...
Icy autumn winds sway
In the cradle of dusk
Like honey bees drunk on orange blossoms.

What Is It That Burns In Me
What is it that burns in me
That swells
The agony and ekstecy my heart.
In all my senses
Hums the tune of your love
Burns intensely that
Saturates with ash
Inside and out of my heart.
Maybe the colloquialism of your love,
Will incinerate me in a slow pace.
