Poetry

Annihilated

Annihilated am I

By your tenderness –

Merging myself

With you among glow worms

Under the stars melting

In the rain

Like waxen light

From candles falling on

And illuminating

Green leaves and vines

On the trellis heavy

With grapes of the dark red variety.

Annihilated am I

By your power

Over me –

As I melt like stars

In the rain and turn into

Candles at your feet;

Radiant with waxen light,

We illuminate our leaves and vines

On the trellis heavy

With grapes of the dark red variety.
