Random Poem... I call it "The Selfless Lover"
Fickle, fickle hearts.
I read you all with ease.
I know my own, ignore its call
And fall
Into the hands of those who need.
I am the sacrificial lamb,
For my loved-ones,
No price is too great.
I will give them happiness,
Make their pain abate.
I deny myself what I truly want,
For I know it helps them not.
Deny that I, too, need
Love, comfort, companionship,
And care, a tiny seed.
And when I glimpse the seed
I wish...
It unfolds to another glow.
And I watch, in awe,
It grows,
And want it all the more.
So what to do?
Which are opened windows,
Which closed doors?
The glowing one
I care for,
Count among my friends.
And I watch the seed and wonder,
How should it end?
I give the seed over,
Much as I want,
I am first and foremost
The Selfless Lover
Of ideals and of friends.
