LOVE WITH NO DISGUISE

Love is destined
not to be
for always
but is never
forever gone
from the sealed core
of a hidden heart.

To have lived
and loved
is a poem
within a poem,
the irreversible
pulse-beats
of a journey
inside a journey
that carry me
full circle
like a stem
in search
of a blossom
to the gardens
of your world
and back.

Sweeter
than the scent
of a rose
kissed
by tears
of morning dew
or the passion
of poetry
that towers
above thought
is the wish
to love
with no disguise
soul to soul
in the light
of eternal night.
