LOVE UNRECOGNIZED

Fear is the mind killer and the heart killer..especially if we scream and there is no one to hear.

I Love

 Not to be loved in return
I love
 Because it is the only way I feel life 
Without the warmth of true expression
Which is to love without condition
All is lost in the coldness of the void
I awaken only to confirm my solitiude
This is the unacceptable death I fear
That in this sterile and emotionless void 
I shall perish with a scream unheard
In the suffocating reality of science dark
Watching the birth of the monsters of men
I lanaguish while the television sells visions
To the uneducated masses 
That equals snakeoil and relics of saints
In the effectiveness of solving
 Love unanswered and unrealized.

This is a poem that makes a reader think. The complex mood of love need not have an object; it may have one's self as an object, or it may embrace all of Reality. Love may embrace itself. We wouldn't be conscious without our moods. Love is our reality. It isn’t memory, or logic that gifts us Consciousness, but rather our moment to moment moods. Moods are our treasures. Our momentary interconnected moods is much greater than their sum, a synergy that defies logic.

Love is a topic that gets a lot of play with poets..and for good reason. Love really is our most important nourishment. Babies without love and affection will whither and fail to thrive. Adults really are the same it just does not show as much. When there is no REAL love and that is another subject, not selfish ego centered love, but authentic unconditional love.. adult love. than we do what is right for that person, for other people, and for our planet.. and of course ourselves..
Namaste

Either we're are in the mood, or we're not, but if we are in the mood, then we 're aware.

agree with Amos ... poignant ..rich in the depth of its wisdom ... your poem takes in real life, our phony life and universal truth in a nut shell ... i think this is an impressive poem
