Taste of Truth

by Venkat

my thoughts, a pan of water
submerged in its own current

your feelings, a spoon of oil
on the edge of combustion

try ever as I might
to hold, roll over
engulf you in my tide

yet you move up to surface
uplifted by an irrepressible force

we may never homogenise
until the ragged edged, raw reality
falls on our laps to be heated

in a flame of love, we are wed
to taste truth
