| Glory Plague | |

The first time I have posted a poem here, and given the quality of some of the stuff I've read, I have to admit to a little trepidation. Honest feedback still welcomed though. In that garden Where you told me not to touch I caught a little of your radiance, Became contagious. Now, I am not alone. Countless luminous Typhoid Marys Carry the virus, shining to the undiscovered edge of all things. No-one immune Nowhere beyond its reach, An irresistible invasion A glory plague gone global. It mutates Becomes pandemic, Percolates through porous strata Rock and skin In a slow explosion. Each particle of light a spore Unique in fragrance, Infects with promise Golden like summer Fresh as tomorrow’s rain, And love for which there is no cure.
