When can humanity learn
To love freely
For Love?

When will humanity
Move on
Grow up?

Have we left them all behind?

This feeling at the center of my being
Belongs to so many souls
Yet they may never know this
For the entrapment
The Fool's cage
Humanity hides in.

I cannot exist behind these bars.

I remember Love

I know Love

I am Love

Where is the freedom Love promises?

The fantasy and exotic words?

Humanity rules over Love

With a proverbial Iron Fist.

Love is...
Beaten
Trampled

Abused

By these Lords and Ladies of the World.

Can none see the beautiful escape
From our collective self inflicted pain?
It seems there is only one way...

May we last into eternity

For there she waits

With flowers in her hair

Love is written on her arms

And she shall open them

To welcome all.

I'm falling...
Falling in love again.

This is beautiful sadness.

I see into forever
And that is the only place
We could be together...

Eternity is the last refuge of Love.

Eternity holds her freedom
From the humanity.

Eternity whispers her name
Dries her tears.

Be shattered no more

Feel free to fall

For Eternity will catch you...

Someday.

Now dance with me

As I fall in love with you

We'll remember

Now

is

not

ours

Yet we'll have our time...

When universes

collapse


And

Beliefs      cease      to       

 be.

When knowledge

no longer

 knows

When truth finally lies

And time forgets

 its timeless name

and ageless age...

As my feelings                                                                                                                                                                                                  grow from the mud
of my humanness

They reveal a Lotus in full bloom.

Humanity will sink to that mud below the surface

Love will grow

into  many  colored  flowers

Bursting forth from the tragic depths.

Eternity is the last refuge of Love

Hold me when the sun sets

On this world.
