Natured Lovers

Love gestures nature
Your heart in tree form
Fresh,
Full of life
Warped by the burning vengeance
Purity now aflame
Pity burns
Deep
Souls of the gaping oceans holler
The wind through your etched branches alike
Violently bare
It's the circle of life,
My love
All life's greatest treasures
Return expressionless pain.
