Love Waits / Love is Now

being sad
ocasonally
is okay

it means you still have feelings
that you are still human

giving all the way in
means
depression
has left you reeling

but it doesn't mean
it doesn't mean
you're through

they want you
to give up
pack it up
don't come back
from their attack

but no
your ability
is endless
you may not know it
but you've got traction

love is offshore
in the conflict
waiting for the time
to be right
to fight
for a lovewar

maybe you thought
you couldn't wait
that long
too many years
too many nights
filled with loneliness
and confirmed fears.

but no,
the serenity
will come when it is ready
hold steady
when the boots come to tread
deadly on the backs
of heroes

zero in on the indecision
play backwards
the fates'
indecent indiscretions
love waits for now
or for never
hold tight
love is always
and for now
when the mind's eye
becomes a hallway

hate is a doorway
you can fall through
for freedom
hopelessness
may have vast grasps
but no
see dreams come
your soul is the sun
love waits for never
or for now but
is never done.
