Love exists as an absolute
Or as a void
As flame
Or as smoke
As living
Or dying
When you have it...
Care for it absolutely
Let it fill your every fiber
Give it your everything
And every thought
Belong to it
For if you let it slip
Mistreat or abuse
Feel only half heartedly
It will leave its void
And that is what
You will become
A void of love
Walk into its flame
Let it burn and consume
Your all
Your body
Your soul
Your heart
Tend to the fire
And you become part
Of its flame
To forever burn
Without turning to ash
But without your all given
To hold back
Half in and half out
You will be reduced
To cinders and smoke
And vanish to air
Live in it absolutely
Love is to give
More than you take
Don't let lust
Mislead you
Walk the line with grace
No less than two steps to give
For every one that you take
It is easy to die here
Tread carefully
Stride with passion
Embrace the unknown
With wonder
Not fear
For fear is a shadow
Much colder than death
And death is often
The result of fear
And if you do die here
Know this
One day
You will exist again
You will live again
Absolutely again
In love again
And when you do
Care for it with your every fiber
Your every thought
Belong to it with your
Everything
With your body
And heart
And soul
Become the fire
And the flame
And forever burn
Always
To give
With wonder
And passion
To live in love
Is to never
Need fear dying
Or death
For in love
We all become
Immortal
