Lover

Someone asked me
why do you always choose
such lukewarm men?
you say you want passion
I replied, so I do…but
If ever I met the man
who could match me
in love and  passion
we would burn the world
with our conflagration
Helen and Paris
Cleo and Marc Anthony
Guinevere and Lancelot
I understand those lovers
doomed as they were
if I ever met my matchmate
gladly would I laugh
while galaxies
spun into nothingness
and the Universe imploded
if my love and lust were well met
How glorious!
