Make us whole
"conjoined with the whole, we play our life role exuding a scent granting love consent"
— Unseeking Seeker
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
my love life is not an island
my heart feeds yours, and yours needs mine
together we can mend the leaks at our ends
and find perfection when our hearts align
what use is the love that fills your heart
if you refuse to unlock it from recluse?
let my dream form yours, let yours shape my stream
clear away your doubt, let us scatter the clouds
my love you fling away is a bird with one wing
though flight is possible, it trembles in fright
so strengthen me soon, and let us soar to the moon
my cake is baked, awaiting your icing
my mart stands empty, waiting to hold your art
my diamond in the rough awaits your polish
to reveal its sweetness, like almond freed from its shell
we are heaven’s match—if only you’ll march with me
my heart is a rose where sharp thorns arose
your love must weed the spicules, heal scars and freckles
though I am broken, your love is the token
its balm still lingers in my dreams and psalms
just play your love’s role, and let mine stroll beside
let our garden exude love’s freshness unburdened
seal my proposal with your zeal of consent
plug this hole in my heart, as I make you whole
