To Love Beyond the Deep
To define my love
Do I need a pen to write
with ink of heart blood
that trickles to the whiteness
of a page unsullied
by memories of grief
Or shouting my love
from rooftops
from the mountains
listening for rebounding echoes…
Do I then validate
the depth of my love
Love, shall it be stressed
Should I go to Gehenna
For you, to give my life
To the fire
So that you may live
Greater love has no one…
Depths of love
Has no word indeed
To say one love
To serve with faith
selflessly and fully
Such is love truly
My love define all
the faith, the need
to cleave as one
Bodies, hearts and souls
Your pain, my agony
Your joy, my ecstasy.

I love this poem very much, Grace! Truly, this is how I also define love - beyond all things, the sum of all things, and worth all (even should it be Hell itself) that we go through to find it, keep it, and hold it to our hearts. Such a beautiful write! :D

It's powerful. Purposeful. Graceful. I feel happy to have read it. Greater love has no one struck me particularly. Great expression, I hope you did/do well in the competition. Namaste.
