thought, emotion
in a relay race
through body and mind
each lap igniting sparks
firing across synapses
instantaneous
love
spoken, unspoken
thought, emotion
facing a tsunami of
words
inundating
slowly seeping away
leaving behind
sodden ash
heartbreak
thought, emotion
in a dull glow
re-firing to
recover
bridge a gap
reconnect
commune with
the outside world
