Truth And Love Poem by Anita Atina

The truth is harsh and real, we live it.



But there is also another truth,

Unfettered by the laws of society that binds us,

The higher truth of the heart and spirit.



When we come together, we know this is how it was meant to be

Man and woman, two parts fused into one vibrant reality.

Our spirits dance, our minds delight,

In this marvelous ecstasy of finding the right.



You touch my feelings,

My warmth quickens your heart.

You give wings to my deepest desires,

And I make your wildest dreams come true.



But to the world, two strangers we must pretend to be

Committed to others, married to trees!

Unmoving, grounded but firm in their resolve,

To hold us up, to the worlds’ cold call.



And so this polarity, we must live everyday,

And seek to dissolve in each others mighty sway.

For in our hearts we know,

What we share, many live and die, and do not know.



For loving and giving is the true meaning of life

It doesn’t matter if we are not husband and wife!
