Soulful synergy escapes my ever aching heart,
where the time and space
that separates
and tears us further apart,
is not but stimulus for art.
And this emotion, like an ocean,
flows forever in every direction.

So, though the desire for affection is unyielding,
the result is an infection of the heart.

In this, we must find our deepest sense of gratitude
-life and love, a perception of beauty -
in ourselves; or risk being lost to the periphery.

That is, the wills of others taking precedent over the needs of self.

I must let go of love.
I must not want to be understood.
Instead, I must seek to understand.

I can live forever,
but never experience the same thing twice;
why should love be any different?

This is Agape.
