i’m a live wire!

poetry with a lion’s mane in a 6 foot frame

tasting, touching, living connection, shadows and light revealing delight

exuberant joy in ecstatic flowers seeking deep currents of love

rest and peace all in the arms of sweet release

i’m a live wire!

grab hold and feel the jolt, 600 amps ex-pressed, not knowing, all feeling, try breathing

through my core, meridians electric, then go quiet, resting, lion breathing, sleeping, restored

until next we meet

this live wire – now screaming love

banshee ecstatic joy

can’t contain, don’t want to restrain

on this rocket of God’s primordial force

whisper become hurricane screaming love

am I too much?
