Love's the base line Let us be and what would we lack? Love's no elixir nor intoxicant Love's the pure undifferentiated state of joy Love's where we go when we let go of ourselves And we let go of our games and our desires And our pasts and our futures and our fates and destinies Love is tasting good food and chewing till it's paste and sitting back and smiling feeling it energize every cell Loves hoping everybody wins the poetry slam Because what good would it be to be in it for yourself For one person Against the universe? None of us are opposed in love, We are the unbroken chain But every link is not connected to just The link in front and the link behind It is connected to every link at once It is connected to every link ever forged with the blacksmith's love The chain doesn't draw a line between us, It wraps around us and ties us together Oh love is all I knew before this poem And love is the effortlessness of every word Because only Nothing could be easier than love And love is to BE nothing Because who could resist such loving completion? Nothing is the soul of the universe And anything at all is Nothing but Love Love is finishing my speech and sitting down because I'd rather hear yours
