Only if you had let me run wild

to chase the wavelength of all those

shadowy radiance of light.

Shining bright in the VIBYOR of our lives.

Illuminating the patchy contours,

blemishing the freckles upon the maps of this ride.

Only if you had let me glow

in the wilderness amongst the beasts.

Grunting heavily,

prowling gluttonously,

towards the dazzling vignettes of our outrageously sumptuous feast.

Only if you had seen

Me scattering the granules 

sowing the consciousness of our divided needs.

Sniffing the trailsof our separated paths,

breaking free from the blows,

walking away from all the doors which closed.

Blocked. Clogged. Or stopped.

The entrance to your soul.

Only if you had known 

apart from my seeming fortitude

What else did my heart undergo!

Perhaps then

you would have felt

The slither of the serpents upon my chaste bed.
