I was lost
In a sea of love
Only to find my way back
To this world
Look in my eyes and sea
All that I have
For you
Love is a vast place; one of those places where you can recharge your soul or simply folic in joy. Love has an otherworldly quality to it. Not too surprising, if God is love. Love is a poor respecter of man-made conventions, known to turn conventional wisdom upside down. The weighs of love are not easily subject to human calculation or even put in words, especially for prose. This short poem alludes to this ineffability by its being made known through the eyes, the windows to the soul. Love is not prone to half-ass measures, offering All that I have as the only proper homage to love’s nature. While the experience of love is difficult to quantify or put into words, its nature is to share itself with another. May you love find you and the eyes have it.
The theme of this poem reminds me of another short poem of mine:
One day
I asked God
What is it all about?
There was only silence
But with the look he gave me
We’ve been lovers
Ever since
