Beyond the Known

She said, I will love you unconditionally.
Her boy friend said same to her additionally.
I can understand her; she is greatly guilt-filled,
Is he, pacifying her? Is his conscience grilled?

Relationships, here, are often, like, butterflies,
Flying; fluttering; yet, limited by the skies;
Flowers after flowers they try to pace around,
Within short pleasure circles their movements get drowned...!

Fast friends ran away when misfortune came to stay,
Times taught me: this is the world's existential way;
Do you have wealth? Do you have bills? Can you spend all?
Who, here on earth, cares for your deep psychic death-toll?

Jesus! I understood; there's none else here on earth,
To pour on you purest love from your very birth;
It's, hence, I hold his hands; with him I walk so long,
My power proves, he's unconditionally strong...!

Christuraj, ( say, is this your first name or is Alex?). Your title attracted me to this poem. Not sure why…? I find truth running all thru this piece.. keep up the good work. Keep holding to Jesus. Hugs.
