Unconditional You

For my Beasty who is miles and miles away.

This is an exception for a moment
One in which I will speak freely
Today will embrace my thoughts
Letting my inner most feelings soar
Brought to life; pausing on the surface

It is forever unconditional
No restrictions on time or place
This feeling has a life of its own
Always beating in your direction
Singing a chord only for you

It doesn’t care about your flaws
Or the broken jagged pieces
Only a wild rawness is seen
The uniqueness that is solely you
The preying beast and the man, in whole

I accept the wild with the tame
The meltdowns with the blazing desire
Never questioning how I feel
It is unwavering and constant
Loving even when you are in doubt

This is no ordinary tale
For it is unconventional
It doesn’t fit into a standard box
Entirely contoured to you
Without reservation if it’s real

I understand you deep within
The charming with the fractured
The trepidation and the bold
I comprehend the questioning
And the pulling back, hesitation

You are you complete different
And that’s what draws me to you
Your heart, your soul, all that is you
Ahh, and your genuine smile makes melt
Leaving me in a state of bliss

this is very good.. seems it isn't really love that is the problem.. I am reminded of the adage "a bird can love a fish but where will they live.." I have loved several people in my lifetime but I couldn't live with some of them.. some are still friends and some are not.. but once I have come to love some one it doesn't ever seem to go away.. finding and learning to maintain healthy boundaries isn't always easy either.. I'm still working on that one..

This is heart felt and is deeply woven into my center, my being. The problem isn’t that I can’t live be with him; it’s that he now lives so far away. Long complicated story that has lasted for over a decade

yeah.. I got that.. there are all kinds of ways that we live with other people.. if you got the impression that I am not aware of where you are coming from.. I will send you a pm.. and perhaps you will better understand my comment..

Unconditional love expressed in poetic language. I wish someone wrote one like this to me one day. :)
Your "Beasty" is a lucky one!

[Poetic Beauty]

I am glad you liked this poem. My Beasty and I are only friends. He moved back home about 10 years ago and we live extremely far away from each other now. We have a strong connection and bond that has remained. I wrote this for him on Valentine’s Day and sent it to him. Some loves are eternal.

[Laz K.]

I know exactly what you mean, and how it feels - that's why the poem really touched me. :)

[Poetic Beauty]

I am fortunate to have him as a friend and be able to at least text him and call him. I’m going to try to take a vacation this year and see him. Make a few new memories just spending a time with him. No expectation just to be feel the calm I feel in his presence

[Laz K.]

You are blessed to have this sort of connection in your life. I am happy for you. :)

Unconditional is everything you love about a person no matter what; there are no strings attached ; you are who you are, no flaws are doubted; there is a unique understand of this unconditional tie between two people. There are no reservations ; everything about this person is true, unquestioned.
Love this poem. Excellent.
Best, B

[Poetic Beauty]

Thanks he can be a complete pain but at the end of the day I still love him. We are only friends but I will love him until I take my last breath

[Betty Hermelee]

I get it! But love is unconditional
Take care and happy Easter!

[Poetic Beauty]

Yes love is unconditional

[Perdition]

"Accepting the wild with the tame"...truly "Unconditional" and not an easy thing to do.

[Poetic Beauty]

No it definitely isn’t easy but for me it simply is and has been that way for years even though we are merely friends now.

life in motion,with all the trimmings life has to offer

[Poetic Beauty]

Sometimes even if you can’t be with the person you love them unconditionally and I always will. 13 years and counting. At least we are friends despite the distance in miles now

[wordman]

that`s great

[Poetic Beauty]

It definitely is.

[Vertigo Cat1111]

This feels like you took the feeling of love, unconditional, deep everlasting love, and put it in a poem. Loving flaws create the purest love and after reading this poem, it feels very satisfying. Whether the love is platonic or not, you put it in perfect words here and I adore it.

[Poetic Beauty]

I’m glad you could feel the unconditional love

[barleygirl]

This is the very best I've seen it expressed, how some among us (me, for sure) have such a thorny list of issues, it's hardly worth inflicting oneself on anyone else in close quarters. And how, given such thorns & sandpaper, the difficult one must surely require superhuman feats of tolerance from a beloved other. The way you lay it all out in specifics, so we experience how this can be, showing your commendable ability to accept all the tough parts, yet not appearing to be judgmental or sanctimonious about it. My only slight dislike -- you don't seem to have any vexing quirks that might bug him. Nobody can get close to a saint, no matter how tolerant (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Poetic Beauty]

Oh I do...
I’m can be a bit like a rabid chihuahua, stubborn and anxious about an array of things

"I understand you deep within"... That's it, that's the true essence of love. If the couple or atleast anyone of this bears this feeling then it is unconditional love. When you truly love someone then you ignore the flaws, because loving him actually makes you satisfied, contented... That is purity and completeness of the bonding. A very endearing write..

[Poetic Beauty]

While we aren’t a couple and haven’t been for years now. We have remained friend since he now lives so far away. Oh I know his flaws, and while they do irritate me from time to time, I understand why he is the way he is and I love him anyway.

We also call each other out on things we don’t like. We try to learn from each other.

I appreciate your sharing of thoughts, you are a good soul... I wish you all the good things in your life..

[Poetic Beauty]

Thank you very much

[lightsong]

The best one I've read from You! Beautiful in its uniqueness, in its speciallity, in its personality, "This is an exception for a moment" the first line alone and its power was enough to drag us strongly, I'm so sure your Beasty had warm tears and dancing heart of happiness and gratitude, so well done my friend, your feelings are so sincere and real as we read.

He lives 1200 miles give or take a few from me. We haven’t been a couple for 12 years but we keep reconnecting. He hates to read but he did read it and he liked it. He’s not an overly expressive person. Just him saying he read it is saying a great amount
