No Love Unspoken

No Love Unspoken
Certainly there are enough
threats in life Beloved!
Some sad,
even unbearable
if not for the healing
contrast
of your Love!
What I cannot bear
any longer
and cannot consent
is leaving
any loving word
left unspoken
regardless of circumstances.
My heart can no longer
hold these words,
the biggerness
of this love
is too vast!
The wall of social etiquette
and self protection
is not high enough
to contain these overtures
any longer.
Why would I want to do anything
to keep two hearts
from
kissing?
In this world
of
10,000 things
I shall not
leave
any loving thought
any loving feeling
or appreciation
unspoken.
Life and consciousness
grows from these seeds.
There are too many
hearts
hi ho silvering
their way to love
when in fact
in our naked
bare beingness
we are
just
that.
I want everyone
to know
how easy it is to see
this love
in who
they are.
