Open Letter

Dear Darling
pave my road not to be gravel
it is dusty and curved,
no lights, its all dark

your heart compass
improves my sailing,
directing, my boat not to sink.

Endless Journey
as i travel,
be my paramedic
in my accidents
 

                                 your Soul
                                  My part

ENDLESS

Love a trite but I write, if I don't write what else do I have?
Love him so much I have forgotten how to love
It's madness they say
If so it seems wonderful
To die again and again for him death would wonder
In wind I would still love him
In the burning flames I would still love him
In his rejection I would still love him
If I cannot feel anything I would still love him
It's raining but I cannot feel the rain
I'm crying but I cannot feel my tears
I'll always love him with a love that's beyond love

The Heaviest Matter in the Universe

Love can flip your entire world upside down, with no logic and no sense. Your emotions are stirred with an unexplainable desire deep in your core you’re often left wondering, how did I come to this?
 
Science can explain the chemical reactions, between physical attraction and spiritual attachment, the heart doesn’t care for rationalization, it just wants.
 
Love has a special effect on the soul. It's tormenting when far away and it heals all wounds with a tender touch, a soft caress and the most caring kiss. Yes, love can make you do crazy things, from crossing deserts and oceans to conquering worlds. You will do anything to protect it, anything.  
But
Love...it will drive you wild with longing, a deep seeded need, it will tear you little by little, it will invade your every thought at a second of your day until you can’t take it anymore. It will make you write, spilling your most intimate thoughts and desires. It will linger in your heart for years, decades, centuries, eras, and ages and into lightyears away that knows no boundaries or time. It is the heaviest matter in the universe in the weight of tears when it’s unrequited.

She's Not to blame

She was not
to blame
the blame is mine
to claim
i let her  
slide under
my skin
into my heart
with my eyes  
open wide
with my mind
on wishful thinking
dream time
as she sucked me dry
an emotional wasteland
she left behind
but as they say
life
will find a way
so my feelings
will learn
to grow again
one day

She wasn't to blame
the blame is mine
the signs were there
i refused to see
i didn't look
behind the scenes
behind her smile
behind her eyes
behind the walls
she hides behind
and for that
i pay the price
a broken heart
a fractured voice
a river of tears
when i remember  
the lonely fears
i thought  

i'd  left behind

Love is

broken in Spirit
but not faith: their
 trunks carved by Life
yet, places no blame
upon the hand
wielding the knife;
 
dry-furrowed Souls
  who continue to believe:
despite unrequited efforts
they'll never understand—
  though carry on  
  until their backs bleed;  
 
a combatant fighter
 using defensive maneuvers
to shield unhealed scars
 from future wounds—
offering nonetheless  
 themselves unto service  
whenever called upon;  
 
doesn't try to bury
  the hurt from remembering—
sits with it quietly instead
  learning the lesson it taught
  until free to move on  
 
Love is endurance—
  ceasing without end
even unto death
its capacity to give
  despite circumstance
~

oOF! Thank you so much for the placement, Uma! I truly appreciate it.  Congratulations, nomoth, it was indeed a beautiful entry and so worthy of the win.  Congratulations, Commentonly! It was achingly felt and worthy of second place!  Love is, and always shall be, immeasurable, particularly in words; however, we poets shall never cease our attempts to convey its essence.
