Unconditional

I want to purify 
my love for you,
cleanse it
of all expectations,
of all desires,
of all that is about me,

until it runs clear 
like spring water
that I pour for you
when you are thirsty,
without asking 
anything in return,

and you can
accept it from me 
without second thoughts,
as you do not question
the spring that flows
in unconditional abundance.


From my new collection The Eden of Perhaps (Spartan Press, 2020)
