Heart:
hollow –
cavernous crater
a brewing blast volcanic
rumbling ruminations raw
searing pain then hot lava flow
that expels itself mysteriously
freezing a moment in ash.

     In this, true timeless heart’s expanse,
find rest, renewal, and release.
Come, love, let all resistance cease.

Love:
laughable –
reverberating remembrance
has survived the agonizing ages
absence of you in heart of me
refuses expulsion by eruption
or by emotional outburst
by any other means.

     Enter this cataclysmic void.
Reside inside vast mystery
of our love’s intense eternity.
