There is passion <br />lightning bolts <br />arcing between us <br /> <br />If I touched you <br />reached across space <br />neutral and safe <br />would we ignite <br />and burn until our <br />ashes comingled? <br /> <br />Would time erase <br />superficial barriers <br />letting us be <br />more than we seem <br />releasing molecules <br />equal in communion?<br /><br />CAROL HUGHES<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ashes-27/
