There is a lover beyond another

There Is A Lover Beyond Another

There is a lover

beyond another-

one I am gladly

bound to.

One whom I

can not ignore

for risk of great

unhappiness.

One in whom I

see myself so clearly,

where I can fly beyond

the dimensions of

space and time.

One who nourishes me

with wings of eternity.

There is a lover

beyond another-

one I am gladly

slave to.

A life lived not in

richness and in health,

but in the concrete of

boredom and the ordinary,

will surely be my destiny

if I heed not her siren song.

I gladly go

and perform

the struggle, tug and push

in the solitude of my studio.

I give her voice-

I worship at her feet.

There is a lover

beyond another-

gratefully so.
