The\u00a0sixth in a new series of poems on love and longing.\u00a0 Love can make the heart sing. \u00a0It can also feel like the sweetest of rhymes.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t want to know
\nIf this will last all my life.
\nFor now, I will stay lost in it,
\nEven if only for a while.<\/p>\n
For, in this time,
\nI will live a thousand lives.
\nFor, in this time,
\nEven if I die a thousand times,
\nI would still have felt,
\nIn every single cell,
\nA joy, an ecstasy,
\nBetter than any dream or fantasy,
\nWhen the world feels bright and nice,
\nAll beings appear devoid of vice,
\nEvery blossoming flower, felt in my heart,
\nAll aspects of nature, appreciated as art.<\/p>\n
Even if only for a while,
\nI will live a thousand lives
\nAnd carry in my heart, \u2019til my time,
\nThe love that I feel,
\nThe sweetest of rhymes.<\/p>\n
