 A Ponderance On the Shulamite Woman's Urgence
a poem by Alissa Graham

Awaken love before its time, 
And you have wasted ammunitions, 
Bullets fired into space,
But no target or confrontations,
The kind needed to kindle the flame
rubbing stick to stick, a representation

Awaken love before its time
And you have store bought delicacies,
unripened bananas, waxed chocolates
expensive, yet poor recipes
It is a rip off, a cheap thrill, a cover up
Simply stated, a deceive

Awaken love before its time
And you have a disreputable fetus
The glory of wholly being, 
now slain in weakness
You’ve stolen its conception
Its perfection, no longer tremendous

Awaken love before its time
And you have finished before you even began.
