Lost Love


When something is lost,
Something is.
When everything is lost,
Nothing is.

Sleep being death,
Wake is the resurrection;
Love being myth,
Life is the consolation.

Tiring is the word,
Patience is the way;
Heart acts the sword,
Mind remains gay.

Untangle the tangles,
My love, oh moon;
 I offer broken bangles,
Salty tears and a burst balloon,

As a token of my love,
Lost, as it may be
Still precious, pure as dove
Let it come back to me.

Torturous ol’ hope!
Keep yourself away;
Enough of being a dope,
And going astray.

Understand learn and live
Un-understand, unlearn and kill
All  recorded thoughts, only to dive
Into the void ocean and sail – to say,

When something is lost,
Something is.
When everything is lost,
Nothing is.

This reminds me of what my boyfriend keeps describing to me of how he felt before we met. He says he thought everything was dead inside him. He didn't know or think he deserved to love again, yet I have awaken everything and he is no longer numb to love. I love this poem. Did you write it?
