PASSION 2

See this river run swift
like deer, run steady like cheetah
see it full, banks overflowing
see the bed covered in rocks
foundation strong
see the passion pillow
this comforter, see it
capture limb and leaf
in the passing, see it wash
away dammed up struggle
see it flow free flow fast
watch the passion rise
like tide, like swollen breasts
waiting, watch it heave
and sigh intense
watch it call lover's name
at climax, see the river
mouth wide open to 
ocean, run long, run deep
run, see this passion
grow ancient
