Love

I am told that love

should be rare.

.

Love should be restricted.

Love should be saved

for that single individual

given to you by god

or the universe

or some skydaddy.

.

Shared only with

that special person.

.

The one that comes,

once in a lifetime.

.

--

.

Love is not a commodity.

It's not meant to be traded,

bought or sold.

or manipulated on some market

of the heart.

.

Love is the internal infinite

endorphin hit. Flowing

.

through veins

and vessels,

.

muscles,

and synapse.

.

Love is the drug

that never comes down,

never stops,

never slows

and is relentless.

.

You can't overdose

on love.

.

There is no license to love.

There is no regulation

or class

one should take.

.

You can't get a degree

in the subject.

.

But you can meditate

on its limitessness,

.

it's profundity,

and it's fiery magic.

.

Love is not in short supply.

It is always available

and it is free.

.

I give my love,

I receive it.

.

When done loving,

I wipe the salt stained cheek

and I love again.

Then again.

.

The well of love

is deep,

.

and never runs dry,

it overflows with expansiveness

and ancient wisdom.

.

Love pours

from my poet's heart

and the trauma

of my limbs.

.

Love does not care

for injury,

for love heals all

wounds,

.

in the past

in the present

in the future

.

now and forever.
