let me count

i bet you thought
i was going to say the ways
but that is not my purpose
everyone wants to feel
needed and wanted
in more ways than just one
to support emotions
to hold in esteem
to eminate pride
these are the golden assets
of a loving connection
when those things
are eliminated from view
cut from the whole
dissipated from what was
always thought to exist
the floor slips
ideas fumble
and one is left
with an aching mystery
of why one's heart
has turned so cold
never mind what they say
because there is only
one true barometer of love
and that is the way
i think of you always
in every move and word
the reason for where i am
and what i am doing
no other
what is true can never falter
or become meaningless
for me, it will always remain
because of dedication
and familiar knowledge
trust and intimacy
let me count
in the grand scheme of things
and be proud, not ashamed
of what i know is right
*****************

do you know?
make it so.

i love you

    and when you write
    "because there is only
    one true barometer of love
    and that is the way
    i think of you always
    in every move and word
    the reason for where i am
    and what i am doing"

    that is so true, so perfect
    love
    is reason
    and
    histories build intimacy
    on top
    of dream couplings
    and
    yes
    the exquisite flame
    of what is possible
    truly
    merged, melted, becoming
    the other
    third thing--between the two--
    the new self
    and
    as shiva dances,
    and shakti spins her energy rainbows
    and divinity kisses divinity back
    {{hard}}then tender
    collisions,
    continuing,
    the gentle displacements of photons
    rendering our will more subtle
    more yielding
    to
    stay Where we are
    and do
    what we do
    ALL
    FOR love

    (and it is impossible to count the ways of love's
    infinite being)
