EnLovenment

 

"If you love someone, set them free." (Richard Bach)

EnLovenment.

~

Who can drink the wine of love,

and bear the intoxication?

Who can die to the heart,

and also live in its passion?

So sweet is thy nectar;

so intense thy burning.

May your taste stay silent on my lips;

your fire dissolve my separateness.

~

Who can hold the gaze of love,

and surrender to its beauty?

Who can survive love's meeting,

and recover from the wound?

So deep is thy piercing;

so sublime thy mystery.

May your eyes forever adore me;

your touch remember me always.

~

Who can be the space of love,

and let it have your life?

Who can be born again renewed,

far beyond this mortal strife?

So gentle is thy caress;

so intimate thy communion.

May your feeling ever stroke my mind;

and your kiss enloven my heart.
