What If…

Of Love’s Wrath,

Of Love’s Wrath

The jagged edges of her daggers!

The crack of scathing scorn’s whip!

The bites of her lashing tongue!

The rapier like thrusts of her rage!

The gouging hooks of her thrashing talons!

Of Love’s Wrath…

What If even her deepest bites, Were nothing more than…

The frenzied shrieks of the wounded dove,

In Desperation’s Dance

           To fulfill

Unmet Love’s Longing?
