I do not love you

Holly Flame Maxey 1976 (baltimore)

How can I say that I love you?

These words do not do justice to the  

Complexity of emotions that arise  

When you are in proximity to me

 

I am in deep admiration

The sky opens and I am entranced

As my soul enters into the fifth dimension

 

In this dimension there is no anxiety, no fear

No lack of trust  

All live-in harmony, all live in love  

All are free to exist in a world  

 

Free of inequity

About this poem

What is love? it pales in comparison to how I feel about my beloved
