musing about my experience of love

Love Poem
Love has never stayed long at my door
has not played its song in my core
it has not swayed in my way before
I know not its length
nor depth
I have only flirted its surface
blurted its purpose
Love is a many plundered thing
a blundered fling
that has brought many under its wing
and makes birds sing.
but when it loses its wings
and clings
no longer soaring
it gets boring
or is just whoring
Love, if not to be
the usual thing
not just a frivolous fling
must enable
us to table
something deep
something to sweep
the sweet gestures of daily routine
into the presents of all time

Love has played at my door
but never stayed
never weighed out the truth
and consequence of commitment
will it come again?
will I ever know how two can grow?
the ultimate human joy
the playful ploy, of pleasure
transformed and penetrated
Into the woof and warp of daily life

Love has not stayed at my door
never danced its way on my floor
never sealed my bliss
with its kiss
I have loved
and been loved
but blundered
ripped asunder its heavenly wonders
with neglect,
hesitancy

Loves strikes deep
strikes true
poor to you
who do not follow its call
when it makes you fall

am I willing to remain vulnerable?
to its emotional mountains
to its phlegmatic nature
its flips and turns
Love is the ultimate happiness
and life�s deadliest sorrow
to enter its gates
one must be brave
willing to lose
all dignity, all ego
and
when I try to see
what it is about me
that has not been able to come to thee
I can only account for that which has been
The time that I was in
The state of my fate
the gait of my wait
I am still
ready
vulnerable
to the dance on the floor
no longer asking what is it all for
just the embrace
the taste of your tongue
the haste of your desire
determines the pace of my admire
the past has had its time
the future may have its rhyme
but let the present be of flowers
Let it be ours
