UNCONDITIONAL {2} ...least I love thyself

To love myself infinitely and unconditionally
... like the horizons faithful gifts to the day
{pledging its return after the night makes love to the moon}
 
Forbid that I should love another
...least I love thyself
 
To be cherished by the Sun's magnetic promise to grant an identity to her Universe
and her stars
{ unrestrained and infinite bursts from her surface }
 
To be held  
...binding her commitment to choose love
{without any hesitation }
...by uniting our Mother of all Stars with her love of light
...as they blend together creating an unbreakable bond
As the Sun names her
{ calling her Light }
 
Forbid that I should love another
...least I love thyself
 
Light beams out of her womb
{ to give life to the constellations and imprints their names to eternity }
 
Forbid that I should love another
{ least I love thyself }
 
Witnessed and a finger drawn  
...by a man and a woman who is resting on a blanket  
...outstretched during the night, seaside  
{ as they become "We,"
loving each, further }
 
UNCONDITIONALLY
 
As they look up to the heavens  
{ holding hands in silence}
...hearing the love song from the ocean
...from the waves as they are singing to Luna
She loosens her grip of the sand
{ giving love back to the shoreline }
 
Forbid that I should love another
...least I love thyself
 
While angels are kneeling  
{bowing their own heads towards our earth}
Wherein, their love glitters into golden notes of laughter
...ascending and descending in a sequence of chimes
{ that mimic the cries of a newborn child's first exhaled breath of life }
 
Forbid that I should love another
...least I love thyself
 
Attended to by the weeping angels of Unity
...as they spiral into a descent,
clasping their wings together, securing a full lake of tears  
{raining to the earth with a loyal vow}
 
Forbid that I should love another
...least I love thyself
 
Wherein, the spring rains pitter-patterd knocks to our Mother of nature
... to nurture the Earth
{ awakening Persephone from her winter's lair }
 
Forbid that I should love another
...least I love thyself  
 
By the burden of my soul  
...I dropped to my knees and wept  
...praying to your Deity who possesses your love
{ I pledge my existence for you to seize. Allow this man to love me...Unconditionally }
 
Forbid that I should love another
...least I love thyself
        Unconditionally

Author's Note
We must learn to love ourselves. Without judgment.
To love our genuine self, embracing each fault and success unconditionally.
Before we can ever love another.
