You Are...Love

You are a bee,
strumming an out of tune harp
Flying in my mind untamed,
endlessly

You are a skunk,
Leaving your residue to trail
Behind my every step,
protectively

You are the wind,
Still, silent and watching
Tracing in my dreams,
nightly

Yet you are hope
Gazing only in joy
guarding, guiding
only for me

Even when I am like
a sea of Poseidon
filled with rage and pain
unheeding

Or like a spoiled daughter
Thrusting away the goodness
Uncaring to your embracing love
unwillingly

But oh dear mother
Even your old wisdom,
stalking aroma
and sharp eyes

Can never compare...

For you above all, is love
Everlasting, unconditional love
Patient, free-willingly love
for me...

Just for Me
