why do you torture her
with silence
does pain cause you pleasure
leave love to her devices
await not for
anticipated outcomes
required reactions
ostentatious obligations
know that love will
disappoint you
so to anoint you
let love dress you
in ardent robes
love on this path
breaks all idols of
egoic expectation
narcissistic narrations
until the lover is
stripped bare
subdued into submission
of effaced nothingness
so to be.
when we can BE
with love
as ought to be
be becomes Beloved
the seeker is now sought
