Is it possible
To love without
Definition is it
Possible to achieve
A relationship existence
That occurs simply
Because it does
One that doesn’t
Define or redefine
What it is
But just exists
Because two people
Decided it so
Is it possible
To love without
Definition is it
Possible to achieve
A relationship existence
That occurs simply
Because it does
One that doesn’t
Define or redefine
What it is
But just exists
Because two people
Decided it so
It is not
It simply isn’t
How I do
But how deeply
That I do
With some I
Wade pulling up
Trousers to keep
Them dry because
Of my uncertainty
With others I
Cast them aside
And swim languidly
But with you
With you I’m
Already naked with
No clothes needed
No defenses required
Just me with
You my water
Diving deep deeper
Than ever before
Why don’t some
Things just end
Why do some
Things carry on
Why can’t we
Simply be a
Machine that seizes
Up and stops
Once the oil
Of our love
Turned to sludge
But no oh
No we continue
Whacking and hacking
As though we
Were clearing jungle
Pointing out this
And accusing that
Like a couple
Of barristers arguing
Their clients innocence
Are we both
Not guilty of
The same crime
Stealing the love
That we thought
Was clearly given
Standing in the
Valley of my
Broken hearts I
Look to the
Mountains of possibilities
And wonder that
If I climb
Up there will
There be sky
Or will up
There simply be
Other valleys that
I don’t yet
See is love
Really just that
Peaks and valleys
While it’s true
If I can
Be only with
You for a
Brief time then
Let’s make that
Time be a
Lifetime for lifetimes
Aren’t the measure
Of age but
Rather of happiness
