love

picture by wm. blake spencer

love comes with depth
various depths...
there is "love".
there is "in love".
there is love that can
only be defined between
the two people loving.

there is love defined
by others 
for others. 

there is love
with expectations
obligations and sometimes 
strings.

there is love
despite expectations
obligations and 
strings.

there is love that comes and goes
and love that cannot be
moved
no
matter what.

if i try to explain to you the love
i have experienced and
you cannot fully grasp
it...
does this negate
the love i've
received and given?

i don't think so.
in fact 
i know it is not so.

in the beginning
love was a gift
given
without condition
GOD 
hovered 
and created. 

we make it 
conditional.

so 
i have loved
and i love.

because i've learned to love myself
some conditions are necessary...
for sanity, safety, peace. 

but other love 
is deep
and wide
and cannot be contained
by conditions

it's 
as close to 
pure love
genuine love 
unconditional love 
we humans can experience.  

i have loved.
i love.
i'm in love.
i am loved. 

love.

in the beginning 
love was a gift
given 
without condition. 
GOD 
hovered 
and created.  

love.
