Love

Love, beyond-lifetimes love,
Tiny-little-sweet-childhood love,
Kitchen-heat-sweat ruined-meal love
menial love, transactional love,
a lonely night's-lustful love, 
ritual-filial-brotherly love, 
tea-time-tenderness-love
tracking flight-path-nervous love,
saree-end-clumping-touchy love, 
hand-shake-is-enough-too love, 
White-sheet-wrapped-up-nude-love
Here hold my hand and stand up to love

What if life slipped its tangled mess on our feet and got ahead?
Maybe then, skip the race, don't catch up, clean up, just be?
Cushioned by the delicious mess, 
here hold my hand and dwell here a while

Broken-bitter love, pupil-dilating, 
heart-rate-pumping love, 
Dazzling firework-love, oil-mud-lamp-love
Burning, shining, crazy, flaming love
Whichever way you find love, 
Here hold my hand and stand up to love
Pointless love

Under purple skies behind the horizon
Dawn met the dusk in moments lapsing before their birth: you met me,
They told me that our space is a deep, dark, noiseless ocean 
and the blue God is cushioned by a coiled snake 
And love, little love, the pointless torch.
