Love's Arrow Poisoned By Death Poem by Chuy Amante

That chemical 'caused' by the other
will be taken away by the other
when the other leaves us warm
and alone for the rest
of our daze
life's fiercest teacher
is death
and he comes
invariably
he strips away
'special love'
that comes and goes
and never stays

unbridled love
for all
fully engaged
with mankind
your brother
seeking to relieve
his pain,
no suffering
equality
real love
unfeigned
complete
EQUAL
for all
never ending,
ubiquitous,
flowing forth
saturating our existence
couple with the knowingness
of no such thing as death.
Transition won't rob love.
Love endures and is everywhere
at all times
unless
we close ourselves up
like flowers
waiting to
blossom next time
in truth,
fully in the light
of peace, compassion
and lovingkindness
