Love Poem

Love Poem

I love you. Did I say I love you?
This is my attempt to write only a love poem.
I paint out all my pain.
For pain is just currency
love is what's paid for
And it's my only gain..

Your presence your absence  incandescence of essense  incense of my patience
If only I were true
In another timeline
In another  lifetime
Its because you loved me too.

Who, Which, what where and why ?
Do I love or don't I?
The questions are clearly sane
Clean Arrows of doubt
But
I take the devious-easy way out
My love is insane.

Infatuation Obsession Dependance
Delusions and Illusions
But poem I tell you
All love is imagination
Etching reality
In Expression.

Love you must I
Though all the wise philosophers
Cry
Conditions Apply.

Love knows no sophistry
No statutory warnings
In
Miniscule fine prints
Love is deliverance in agony
Aching in ecstasy.

To deny itself would be a sinful lie
Love reaches out of murmuring seashells to be a gift
And gives itself timid to die.
Effortlessly smiling gold flecks into a frothy sea
Brave sand upon the beaches of
reckless honesty.

Yes
Love is deliverance
crashing upon the shores of treachery
In serene defiance.

Yes love is everything
That is free
from pain's stronghold
Or gain's mastery.
