Is love a mere thought?: A poem 

Is love a mere thought? 

Where do you feel it? Where is it fraught? 

Is there a creation in blood and genes? 

Is it more than a quantitude of imagination breaking all seams? 

We may be vulnerable to fancy, fetish and infatuation 

And there is a craving beyond imagination 

But have you discerned between companion and soulmate? 

Would you just be resigned to a cruel fate? 

Can love only be what you make of it? 

Does it fit in all your wits? 

I can tell you I have never been in a conundrum 

I rejected liaisons for the truth of unmanifested love; never thinking it humdrum 

I am avowed to say sex is not apex 

Yes, innocence in youth can make it a soul-enervating vex 

Animals know a season and reason for it 

Man never understands it, even a bit 

Ancient tales need to be rewrit 

I can be seemingly blind, but a braille in my soul 

reads out the names of those that deserve my soul’s, though unexpressed, call 

I only fall silent because of the treachery and deception 

The seeming maverick never overtly displays his magic!

I think it is a spiritual experience, my doctors think otherwise. I am a deeply spiritual person and keep having experiences with otherworldly realms.
