let me

This winter
my heart is on fire
burning endlessly
in my chest. 
Let me love you
or it will turn
me to ash.
My head and body
twirl in the snow.
Everything, so
much greater than I.
The silence hits
and pushes against
anything, everything,
my mind, my heart.
Today is sorrow
and happiness,
the dichotomy of
loneliness. Emotions
collide like atoms
at the beginning of time.
Hopefully a universe
of clarity will burst
open like a raindrop
on a waterfall, 
an ablution for the soul.
Wanting for so much,
mostly kind love
that I can drink
mouthfuls at a time.
