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..

Accepting the flaws as well as the good. That truly is unconditional love. Your fourth stanza confirms that to me. Relationships are all about taking the good with the bad. Having a level of tolerance certainly helps, explosions don't work.

This is no ordinary tale.....

It is your tale of you and him. You love him heart and soul. From the top of his head to the tips of his toes. That is quite something. A touching and realistic way of looking at love. I hope he feels exactly the same about you.

It’s a long complicated story. We haven’t been in the same city since I was in 29 years old. We parted ways because I wanted him not to have to decide between going home to his parents and sister or me. We didn’t talk for a few years after we parted way but reconnected for about five or six years. Then he met someone got married and we didn’t talk for awhile. After he got divorced we reconnected again. He’s my soulmate . I’ve always known this but being across the country from each other now we aren’t together. But we don’t want to be without each other either so we live our lives and message and talk a lot about everything like we always have. Unconditional for both of us. We like each other for the good and the bad

wow, very insightful, we tend see what we want to see not the bigger picture, thank you for connecting what I love of poetry, understanding.

No problem. He knows how I feel and I know he cares about me. It’s complicated and when we have significant others we are strictly friends.

This is a fervent and measured statement of unconditional love. It flowed smoothly and without sickly sentiment; rather, an intelligent analysis of the nature of a relationship built on acceptance and awe. A powerful and moving poem.

I have loved this person for almost 14 years. Though we parted ways a long time ago we reconnected years ago. We keep seeking each other out even though we now live across the country from each other. This was written and sent to him on Valentine’s Day. It doesn’t fit in a standard box but we both know it.

Sometimes the exotic and unorthodox has a sexual appeal that drives our sense of longing and desire. Love has a wild essence that will not go away; our romantic longings look for a focus; our bodies long for the f**k of a lifetime.

He is my soulmate. I knew it the day I met him when I was in my 20s. I knew it when I left him so he would move back home without deciding between me and his home where his parents were/are. We always seek each other out.
