Am In Love Though But Cannot Wait For It
But if in your heart, another did find a home to reside
You surely shall be to yourselves true companions
That endure and surpass the force of time and distance, beside
Dreams, aspirations, desires entail maturity like stallions.
Before evolution until dissolution has the planetary motion
Move the earth and the heavens and exert her force
Upon nature, plants, animals and sky and as best fission
Dissolve by circadian effect, how much less the moss?
Still, seperate these hearts by the poles in longitude or latitude
They shall conjoin by the axis. Set apart these hearts
Between hills, valleys, planes unknown deep in the wood
By atlantic ends, love endearment still has no bound to part!
But woe is this body, this flesh of muck fraught with frailty
Who cannot court with loneliness, either let pleasures depart
Or surmount comfort to abstain for the heart that loves it...
That knows not patience or hope...has betrayed the heart!
(The planetary motion has effect on the body but not the soul of man. Whereas true love resides in the soul or heart of man. The body is temporal but the soul is eternal. If love is conditioned by what the body desires, then it cannot overcome time, distance or change which are forces of nature as a result of the planetary motion. Therefore, love conditioned by the body has a bound but when it proceeds from the soul, it becomes boundless).
