ONLY GREAT LOVE

ONLY GREAT LOVE

Ricardo Antonio Garcia

If in my life expectancy

I have ten years

to evolve my meanderings

I will dip my last ink

alongside my last breathe

and incurred

have my last write of love.

The carriage of my experience

has been a two-seated journey

watching an endless Sun

rise and fall

into the tribunal of sky.

Oh- how I love you.

If I live long enough

to reach the ambient clouds

as all living things hope to achieve

masking your kiss

will unveil my red heart.

To the primadonna

of the ballet

whose stage I have danced

and caressed

I will pen

the epitaph of my love.

I will secure

upon the heavenly bound paper

scribbles

that will paradox your name.

How our writings live on

after our bodies

have decayed in the ground.

Marriage of heart and Soul

I shall be

recompensed by God above.

Twained

by the righteous flow

these words

shall be my life long stain.

Such ink

is never born

but created from within.

Stride and the headstrong wind

pounding

as the adversity of our existence

has webbed us so.

Yes- I love and adore you.

Should I pass

to the other side tomorrow

I have penned my allegiance

and the sacred

consciousness of mind

that will continue

our love into the cosmos.

For however

we change the World

only love

can erect such treasures

for hate and greed shall kill itself.

Discovering the self

has not undermined

our sacrosanct bond to be

against the illusions of others.

Only great love

can create great bridges.

Only great love

Can make the strongest metal bend.

Only great love …
