Love

I have spent lifetimes,

looking for You.

The One Love

that I feel deeply,

beyond the measured ones

that have perpetually defined me.

I have cried inconsolably.

So close, yet so far.

I carry the mirror of eternity.

Yet I looked in all dark places

for the light that shines within me.

I was broken in several pieces-

the bleeding hearts;

the sullied names,

a marionette puppet,

played by strings of passion,

love-being a losing game.

Now I see You, in my tear-glistened eyes,

pervading all empty spaces.

You held my hand.

I was Whole again!

I do not ask any questions.

My answers are in Your presence.

The tears that flow now,

carry Your essence

In them, I taste the nectar of Your silence.

There was always something deeper,

almost illusive which i was trying to grasp.

Love opens such doors with secret keys.

I have missed you.

Yet you were never away!
