Only Love, No Magic

Insomnia resolves

Crying in my sleep

Don’t know why

Thoughts coming by

Visiting my heart

Sleeping limbo mind

Begs forgiveness

For the unforgivable

Which is the position

Of strength?

To love does mean

To pursue

and maintain connection

At times, one shares

A bunker

With the previous enemy

To survive

A mutual threat

Are we kidding ourselves?

We détente in times of death

Fear of dying alone

And the lesser arcana

Being motherless

Fatherless, childless

There is no magic man

Who will save you from

 This life – he says

No husband

No Buddha

No Jesus

The waters are still troubled

Stormy misconceptions

Assumptions

Craving

Love and forgiveness
