Poem
To be in love To be in love is to touch the ethos To understand in a moment That the angels in the sky in the world are all paying attention to you because they know It's to fall down on your knees To buckle under the weight of it Have you ever held a leaf in your hand Seen the veins Held it up to light and marveled at the variations of green Have you ever listened to a babbling brook Or smelled the forest... that dance of Moss and dew Have you ever walked out into the night alone When there's no one on the streets And felt no fear Have you ever had someone acknowledge that they love you that you can't have But just knowing that they love you You feel like you can go on forever and ever and ever alone You can't have them You can't even try But just knowing that they love you That aknowledgement alone gives you the kiss of life It can give quietude singularity It's intrinsic absolute purpose and happiness Rain can fall and so often does in these moments and you are wash clean Washed with and washed free from the desire Washed of the want To be loved and to love even if it can never be Can gives you a magnitude An exaggeration of being You are lifted up into some sort of space where things here on earth don't matter Even if you may never see them again until you see them on the other side But you already have it in your hand It's in your heart and in your soul And it's yours to keep forever I can't reach out and grab you I can't lay my hand upon your chest I suppose I have in dreams I cannot kiss you deeply or make love to you with abandon But I will keep you safe within me for the rest of my life To love and be loved Transcends here and now and moves us on to another place So it doesn't matter when you or I die Clocks keep ticking Days go on You make memories with people who spend their everyday with you Joyful happy incredible memories are made everyday I will never have every day with you But you will be with me everyday until I die and when I die I will get to you and we will have our first kiss someday On that other side
