Love Like a Bowl of Jasmine
It's giving what people need
Love is not
giving people
what they don't want,
but
giving
what they need.
I am a knowledge-loving,
my joy and peace lie in
reading, writing, art,
solitude and mindfulness.
I need time, and focus.
demands, monkey business,
conflict, nagging, noises,
interrupt this meditation
I explode in rage, yell,
my blood pressure rises.
Today,
my spouse and little boy
stayed in the other room.
no disturbance,
no interference.
I enjoyed my session
of learning, reading,
it was beautiful, enjoyable.
Love need not be verbal
or a material gift.
It is giving space
that will dispel stress.
Such love
is like a bowl of jasmine,
pristine and fragrant.
