[Author's pre-poem Note: Like songs, an essential part of poetry is to hear it, not just read it. Otherwise a huge component is missing. I would read them all to you if I could. At least read it to yourself quietly: I beg you. The || is something I made up as a visual cue to tell the
Seething Passion || Purest felt
Hearts can mend || Souls may melt
Essence of || Angelic grace
Vicious Violent || Darkness laced
Desperate Need || Ascending Lust
Reigning Ash || return to dust
Fluttered nerves || Reddened blush
Acid burn || and somber hush
Passion's trails || clinging smoke
Shivered fear || Desire woke
Shouted bark || or whispered plea
Longing floats || in Ether Sea
Joy and suff'ring || never tame
Bound as one || in Passion's flame
[Painting: "Venus, supported by Iris, complaining to Mars" by George Hayter. c 1820]
