Chemistry it is but with potential energy.
How i found myself?
How i became unstuck?


Ferocious Savouring

To be anything
be ferocious at it
There is no point
in being anything else
if you cant be
ferocious about it
in a truly madly
existential way

I thought i loved
the subtle
yes, i do
the nuances
the engraving
the lyrical
flowy way of subtle
in the subterranean

But the ferocious
way of a wild mother
guarding her brood
is a lone way to be
and unmatched by one
who is looking over
her shoulders.

I was so taken over
by your fondness
for subtle
that i assumed
thats what i was too;

I was so appalled
by the violence in voice,
conduct and behaviour
that i chose to hide away
in the layers of subtle.

And today
after just one visit
to emergency ward
over something
i thought was stuck
in my larynx
i found
the ferocious bit of me
stuck somewhere there
in my vocal chords
in the arch of my back
between the twin plateaus of my
shoulder blades

I had gone as a calmer one
on the surface
with a ferocious one inside
but i have returned
as a ferocious one
-inside out.

Having savoured
the ferocious with you
i am ferocious
and that -my darling,
is chemistry
with potential energy.

Another 'Wow!' tonight. We can become unstuck in so many ways. We can find ourselves in so many things; in situations, and in places. And chemistry is often the catalyst too. An interesting poem indeed.
