the whole of love.
the whole of love, each instance
~ an existence of universal conspiring
(and perhaps a little self-motivation)
if fate is your thing
I once told myself
there was a grander path,
a happy ending kind of purpose ~
something worth the constant
ache
clawing its way through my chest
every drawn-out and tortuous cycle
of the dancing moon and sun;
I found rest in the in-between,
only to feel the crushing weight of
forever
smothering my dreams
in the one place I could still believe ~
once again, and then again
and again
now I know that fate is
whatever you make
of the opportunity to act,
of that to love
the whole of love, each instance
~ an existence borne of decision
(and perhaps a little Celestial motivation)
if choosing is your thing

Dear L,
Absolutely stellar. I love how you’ve segued each stanza together with a focus word that so beautifully defines the story line. The guidance and option of choice behind love and loving. This is absolutely stunning. As per, your poem oozes beauty. H🌷

I recently read a book centered around love existing due to choice or by chance, and it’s been on my mind a lot lately. Thank you so much for the RL add, and for your lovely words 💜.

Ah! Well here’s a stark contrast- when I read a book I forget the author, the title and the gist. You read a book and write a gorgeous poem. 🥴❤️

"now I know that fate is
whatever you make
of the opportunity to act,
of that to love" this and the closing stanza are not only true but very inspiring.
Spectacular work.
