(or gentle.)


You are like a typhoon

Everything is thrown aside

I'm drowning in your suddenness,
Reveling in your unapologetic intensity. 
You live like I do 
Instantaneous, tempestuous and true,
with all the honesty and volatility
of the sky and the sea and the winds.
You are a catastrophe 
An avalanche triggered by a laugh
Or the soft sound of a first kiss 
and I have never known a phenomenon
so glorious, 
or natural,
or dazzling,
 
or overwhelming.
