Believe In Love

Someone asked me if I believe in love.

I said, "I don’t believe in society’s love that’s figurative
But in real love, from the core, that’s literal…
Not the love that is a rendition,
Nor the love that needs to be petitioned.
I told her I was waiting for love that was more than a situation,
For a love that’s above the standard, creating love’s new translation.
I’ve seen love that’s unwilling.
I’ve experienced love that’s unfulfilling.

I want love that will engulf me in total consumption.
I want love in totality, with no assumptions.
I’m not searching. I want it to find me.
Need it to embrace me,
Reveal things to me
And show me that it’s not temporary,
But when it and my soul collaborate, it will create history…
Putting me in the Hall of Fame
Because I reached the pinnacle of love & love’s the one to blame
When it entered my life, playing no silly games.
In chaos, love, be my peace.
When frustrated, ease my mind. Soothe me.
Show me I’m priceless, exceeding all costs.
When I can’t find my way, find me when I’m lost.

I believe in love, but don’t need it to be superficial.
Only capture me when it’s emotional, physical, mental, spiritual.
I want love to step out of fantasy
And infuse itself in my reality.
Seizing my hopes and dreams,
Not afraid to surrender, how about me, it feels.
Right now, I’m not standing in desperate need.
But in my pit, I am hungry
For something so spectacular,
Encompassing everything that it is.
No more dead-end situations. No more conflictions.
I need love to be my new addiction.
I relinquish any previous retaliations,
Opening my soul…releasing all afflictions.
So yes, in love, I do believe,
Shown by my heart’s words that it’s ready to receive.”
