Violent Love
We love violently
Cry and kiss at the same time
As our chests heave with want and hesitation
We feel extravagantly
Run to heaven and hell at the same time
As our reconciliation bleeds with desperation and collectedness
And we are on heat
Like a cow battling a dose of artificial stimulator
Then we stop, breathe and conquer these militant things within
