humanities heaviest of cost
one must learn to put self on a shelf
to surrender to unconditional acceptance
love is the essence of one's existence

it extends between both time and space
when I look deep into her eyes
it is then I see a future
filled with hope for a better tomorrow

amidst the sadness and sorrow
still I have become cumbersome with this world
left in peril as if some terror
disturbed

still love lights the way
it should go on display
to light the match that ignited the flame
not having her in my arms is driving me insane

love has gained it also has lost
cupboards are bare
when there's a dozen of pots in my sink
can't even think to dismiss this Earthly bliss in a time well spent in thought
