Too Monolithic Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

If a love for you pursued,
Is considered too monolithic...
With expectations deemed out of reach.
That love one seeks and sought...
Has become for that one,
An internalized defeat...
Immensely heightened by negative speech.

Too monolithic becomes that which is missed.
And too monolithic is that which is wished.
With that switch appearing easy,
Sitting as a chore...
With a feeling too difficult and goes ignored.

One has to,
Stop and dropp off of that bucking high horse.
With a roping in of emotions...
Allowed to go too far off course.
Don't become compelled to control and rule.
Go through those hoops...
Everyone who wishes love eventually goes through.

Too monolithic becomes that which is missed.
Until one sees what comes as a gift.
An arrival of a blessing,
One should permit.
And coming as it does to become accepted as it.
