Poetry: The Pain of Love Only Ever Leads to a Fuller Love
Pain Hides Within Love, Only Until Its Cover is Loved All Away
Love holds its result of loving deeply, all without pain.
Pain to remain must contain love, yet not without pain.
Love to be real love, must allow pain to all, all remain.
Love becomes pain, when not yet given all, all away.
Pain becomes love, when received & not all rejected.
Allow love to cycle past all pain retraining pain, again.
Not letting pain to get back on its bike of love, in vain.
Create cycles of love to remain, all within your last pain.
Allow pained love to recycle itself, all into a fuller love.
Created love is a cycle, only to recycle its own fullness.
Fullness must contain pain & love, to be all fully, all alive.
A pain of not knowing how to love, lived in me as my pain.
Holding onto an idea of love, masquerading as my mind.
To know love is to not know love, unknowingly not at all.
Love requires our mind to feel pain, not in missing love.
I followed all my pain to find an almost unbelievable love.
I found my pain remaining in me, ever so painfully alive.
I approached love through pain, remaining unrestrained.
Love opened its door a little bit more, there I was inside.

Post a CommentIn another version of this poem, I made the lines these ones:
''To know love is to not know love, knowingly at all.''
instead of as here:
''To know love is to not know love, unknowingly not at all.''
I changed it here, as to find the meaning of love, our mind has to drop its preconceived meaning, and ''unknow,'' what it already thinks that it knows. The other version is also pretty right in that if we think that we do know love with our minds, we are usually not feeling it enough within our hearts. Only our hearts can knowingly know love.
What version is better?
Smooth, Stephen. Excellent piece. Keep them coming.
