love is not
love is not a shelter
a sanctuary from the world
a safe place to hide
it is living on the edge
stepping off into the void
feeling in your gut it’s a mistake
in conflict with your soul’s
unfailing knowledge that
this is right
it is abandoning reason
and embracing the power
you felt when you struck
sparks from flint into
tender at camp despite
the storm
proof you would survive
it is surrendering to
the wonder of looking
into a stranger’s eyes
and discovering in that
instant what your life is
going to become
before exchanging names
love is not a shelter
it is ardent belief
in the validity
acceptance of
the outcome
before you start the
experiment _________________ At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet. - Plato
