if i bore you
because i speak of little but love
i am sorry
but let me explain
after my years of walking this life
i have concluded that nothing else matters
as much as love
for most of those years
i was denied access to love
cut off from my own heart
and ruled by pain
and then something changed
and gradually,
brick by brick,
the walls of protection
came down
and i allowed
everything to rush in
and i never built a wall again
but when i hear people
saying that love is weak
or an easy option
or that it changes nothing
i am reminded of how tough it was
to open to the ocean
and willingly drown
those who deny love are fools
and cowards
they do not know
that love rules everything
and to keep it shut out
your whole life
is to live a life
in the shadows
denying the light exists.
wonderfully expressed.
