POEM: Cycles

in #poetry12 hours ago

My love,
I feel the pain
from the hidden cycles ahead

That began before birth
and your measured worth
was the path from the road to your bed

And the busy home
that never took the time
to see what made you a gift

Anytime
you bore the fruit of expression
you were judged as a selfish rift

My love,
you are a being
whose magnitude has touched my migrant star

Whose gravitas
could summon from icy depths
a sacrifice of light trails in the late hour

In you
there is no night
for your love also summons a golden day

In me
you've awakened
authenticity in everything I do and say

Your karma
complete even though
I am but a mere soul

For you have ended
the cycle of shallow love
and started the cycle of becoming whole
