“One’s Journey on Earth is sacred. Not to be handed to any drug, including low frequency love. Ego, a temporary illusion needs an illusion, need itself is an illusionary arising, like any drug.” Poet
~~~~~~~~~~~
soul needs no drug, dopamine, oxytocin or
even serotonin, remaining pure in stability
free, unbounded in unconditional love
then FEAR rises its hydra head flavouring
itself with euphoria, craving followed by
withdrawal then relapse ~
Love hijacked in its purity becomes
diluted, polluted, contaminated
permissible, not beneficial
an enchanting play of neurotransmitters
depressing, stimulating, synergising or
antagonising ~ all food for cognising
low level love aligns with drugs
addictive chemicals arise in brain as thugs
escaping pain, suffering not for soul gain
low level love experienced as moving
sensations, perceptions, nothing but preconceptions
ego sabotages Love in octaves low
drinks it brave like liquor craves
taste so intoxicating becomes addiction
elating, escaping from objective reality
one sees only density pulsating
love is drug when personality cannot
act independently from object of love
becoming tame dove, then smothers
inordinately the other
becomes hesitant, petulant or penitent
when love is defined by rules or regulations
it sails like a hidden battleship, unseen whips
offers no choice, no free will equals damnation
low level love, like any other drug curtails
freedom of decision making, often of
movement becoming nail to jail
presents as safety net, y’all bet
imposes itself on Beingness of another
a drugged attunement, insipid inducement
love is drug when service is obligated
when connection not mutually beneficent
feelings of incompleteness rise in absence of other
resonating artificial, superficial
love is drug when other becomes reference point for action
evolution or satisfaction
when dependency darkens energy of object
and subject with resistance to new prospects
when underlined by need to feel safe
this equals no faith
as L O V E ascends its octaves into
independent sovereignty, stands in
courage serenity trust
no need for low level love concoctive
as a humbug drug
