desperate

you have no idea how desperate
desperately in love i am
there is an element of passion
that i freely admit
a kernel as powerful
as any radioactive stone
that can be satisfied
for a moment
but it survived
when there was no hope
it survived
as time passed slowly
it survived
even fulfillment
which took hours
replaced with something stronger
some sticky bonding
a holding in darkness
a molding of two to one
it is represented in years
where there was only conversation
the constant companion
now gone forever
even after the physical
was seen to be possible
the crucible
in which it was formed
satisfied with time
and heat and cold
till it was too strong
till it was too valuable
till it was life itself
a love so powerful
even after it was gone
that it consumes everything
burning brighter
with each day
it absorbs
