Electrified Love - Kashmir

The sun is breaking out the buds

Slicing every cloud

She’s in the cherry blossom snow

Taking showers

The whole city’s fragrant with belief

It’s a hard and rude life

And her saliva’s on my sleeve

Today is mine

She falls into place as

The boxes in tetris

I run out of phrases

And into the shock

Of electrified love

Days travel at the speed of light

And the shortage in my stash

I start to run but petrify

She is a flash

That drives me out of reverie

Back to the green shade of the yard

The future magnetises her feet

… open … in her arms

We fall into place as

Two boxes in tetris

Scratching our faces

In one soft ricochet

Of wet and dry lips

Antipathy surrounds us

Like an overgrown trail

Of sharp, hawthorn branches

That rip like nails

The night is full of headshots

Displayed across the road

But it’s not invisible

It’s not invisible

Cherry blossom snow

She’s in the cherry blossom snow
