LOVE’S ESSENCE

love is an enchantment you feel

on the glazing face of the morning

not the sizzling hunger in the womb

of night that keeps us  so burning

love is body and yet not the body

a bird on flight and so moody

but not desires so common

on waters of needs all muddy

love is a forgetfulness of self

in prayer to god in silence

when all conflicts about possession

melt into nothingness, its essence.
