H
You are like a worry stone in my mind-
I turn You over & over
Rough Edges smoothed.
An imprint of myself remains
on this unrequited version of You.
-Amazing the capacity
of the human heart for loneliness.
a bottomless pit that a single drop
of kindness manages to fill.
What math is this?
The physics of the plane of love
is not found in our dimension.
Instead...through Your smile
Your drop of kindness
I am crossing veils
Breaking through into another dimension.
This drop- Can I hold it forever
Can I keep it like a light
in my dark heart
How long until it just
Disappears into the ether.
Unrequited is even Unsatisfactory
upon my lips. She leaves
No pleasure, upon Pronunciation
just a Breath, no Form-
No Being.
No past, present or future.
I want to be loose of You-
Drop this stone that hangs on my mind.
The heart has Unduly influenced the brain....
I need a release.
I don't want You anymore.
