Sometimes Love Is Not Enough

Sometimes love is not enough, Like melting wax on a candle As it's burns, vanishes into a kiss. You pour every ounce of love Hoping that what you give Will come back to you. Those that love too much Are the ones that get hurt, But, They're the center of your universe. Like An Ocean is not an ocean Without briny breeze. The nascent, lulling movements From its eternal depths; The seagulls that soar above her surf. Where the murmur ambience Above the endless horizon Meets the indigo sea. Where the brimming laden stars flicker, Whirl loud beneath a bright blue sky And the green blade of the herbal sweet sedge. Where, in and out the bees, butterflies, And hummingbird flutter to savor Nectar from a chalice of fragrance of flowers. There is no shame in crying tears Where love is not enough Fall to the living soul Mood as gray as the sky, Which the sun finishes. Slowly, leisurely with pure contentment Romance to whom love will be The taste of wine And stroll upon her beach alone. 9/9/2019
