Longing

fire
in the warm embrace of water,
an island of hot springs
your arms are-
I sail 
oceans, dark as nightmares
with no rudder,
fierce foes 
multiply my woes! 
Oh faithful winds,
I must prevail, power my wings!
chaos of want
tears flesh from my skin
veins are rivers
arteries are streams
churning and charging to you ward,
Oh faithful winds,
I must prevail, power my wings!
