I fought with love, I rejected it, I was scared of it, I denied it, I was angry with it, I couldn’t even say the word I didn’t let love in to the depth of my being, I didn’t let its transformational fire burn up everything that was not itself And then I fell into the deepest love I have ever known This love made me mad It turned me into a poet It destroyed everything That was no longer needed And this love took me to the darkest areas of my self and cast a light on them. It demanded all of me It said, ‘Burn in the fire, let love take everything and give up yourself.’ I walked willingly into the fire And then I embraced love, I welcomed it, I became it, and I didn’t stop talking about it It started as personal love, and then it became love of everything I was a guy who couldn’t even say the word love Now I speak of nothing else.
I wrote this piece a few years after meeting Amoda, who brought me face to face with all that still remained of my own self on my transformational journey.
The result was love x
LOVEly ♥️
