I did not
Love you as I should.
That much is clear.

I could not love you
As I should then.
That much is clear.

You loved me as much
As you could.
This now I can see.

I could not love you
Then as much as I should.
This much is clear.

I love you now
More than I could have then.
I thank you more.

This much is clear.
Pour the words out slowly,
like wine into a glass;
speak your tortured soul;
and this in time will pass.

And let the tears fall freely,
do not hold them back;
and I will give you comfort,
from what your heart does lack.

Say goodbye to precious love
that comes but once for all;
retain the varied memories,
when first you heard its call.

Bow your head for just a while,
and let the sadness seep;
but remember what you had,
and what your mind will keep.

Pour the words out slowly,
in a cherished elegy;
to the one you dearly loved,
then simply, set him free.

And then the day came,
when the risk
to remain tight
in a bud
was more painful
than the risk
it took
to Blossom.

Not truly knowing where
anything begins, or ends--
we're appeased by appearances...
this includes ourselves.
Yet we are capable of extending
a love far beyond ourselves.
It is when that which we've
loved is delivered from appearance--
that we're utterly consumed
by what's been unanchored.
That we're tried by every size
and shape of absence in the form
of emotion...disbelieving we held
such a space within ourselves,
as was held for us.
Convulsively appealing with
this little vessel...till whose
sea becomes mirroring calm.

Lust

Her passion burns bright
her fire catches me
igniting my soul
aroused by lust violently
her flames engulfing me
consuming my mind
body held in captivity
submitting mentally
enchanted by her majesty
