The Lovers I

I am calm...
A still of ocean...
Endless...
Ageless...

I am wild...
My branches wicked...
They strangle and kill...
They strive...

I am gentle...
A light breath...
Yet seemingly unstable...
Untouchable...

I am alive...
I burn, I yearn, I consume...
Untouched...
I feed...

I try, I stall, I Take...
I know...
Admittedly I've always known...
But I slept...

Now I am awake...
And these dreams are flesh...
I shall walk this Flesh...
And taste...

Taste this Life...
Feed this Fire...
Tear this Path...
Feel this Need...

I shall Celebrate this Life...
Embrace this elemental Truth...
Consume this Eternal passion...
Or Die, for I am at Peace...
