Tulsi

 

There was an air

Of danger

About them,

Not the nasty violent kind,

But that strong pulling

Undercurrent of fear

Whose eddies like rippling

Tentacles stretch, travel

And touch more people

And things than perhaps

They themselves ever imagined,

There was hot electric passion

Crackling, sparking, dancing

Between them,

A match if ever there was one,

But something was holding

Them back,

As if weighing

Cost, conscience, consequence.
