have BEEN!

you are the gray clouds
that hide my sun;
the flash of ire
that soothes my burn;
the agony
that rips me apart;
the arrival
that soon departs.

you are the bliss
that stings my eyes;
the aurora
that blazes my skies;
the faint sheen of dazzle
upon my blindness;
a low, harsh whiplash
upon my kindness;
the consummating murk
in my meadows of gore;
the blood lust
in seduction of your lure.

and for all this,
it just goes unseen,
the pain and pleasure together-
BEAUTIFUL!
as YOU've been....
