Handrenade

Like so many of my problems
She landed right in my lap
and exploded.
A flash of light searing
sending her shrapnel lips
whistling along paths
I’d never thought of
nor ever knew were there
until Her momentum ran out.
And I am still, grateful
for the bloody kisses
embedded in my flesh
for the flash burn scars
she left me with smiling
forever dreaming
to ever burn so bright again.
