    Gambling On Love

    Loves eyes look upon me with adoration,
    and at times Love seems surprised and in awe
    of how the blessings of "We" came to be......
    Loves fingers touch me as tender and as gently
    as an angel's wings slowly caressing my skin.....
    Love treats me as if I am the prize, for everything
    that Love has done right in their lifetime.....
    Ungratefulness is what engulfs me because I am
    unable to feel what Love is surrendering to me.....
    I have been looked upon by Love in a way that I
    have always hoped for.....
    I have been touched by Love in a way that I have always
    dreamed of.....
    I have been treated by Love in a way that I have always
    prayed for.....
    But.....I am unable to embrace Love, because it does not
    come from the one at which my heart seeks, it does not come
    from the one I so adore.....
    And yet I still welcome Love, each and everytime Love
    comes calling. I will not turn down an opportunity to see
    Love smile at me. I will not turn down a chance to do the
    dance of romance that Love does with me.....
    Although I must selfishly admit, that I, at times, close my
    eyes, and wish that I, was with the one that I long for, during
    the time, that I am engaging in acts with Love, that in all honesty
    should be cherished not just by Love, but by, the both of us......
    I am so afraid that the next time I pray to God to send me
    "The One", he will simply reply, "My foolish child, I sent you
    Love and the happiness that Love brings. It is not my fault that
    you were not specific enough in your prayers of whom the
    Deliverer would be......"
    Does this mean that this Love is my one chance, and that no
    other Love will come my way? I mean this Love is in no way a bad
    Love, and I guess I could Love this Love. But what if while I am
    Loving Love, I miss my chance at my one "True Love"? Although
    "This Love" is... the truest or the realist Love I've seen.....
    Love tells me that it has no expectations from me in order to
    Love me. Love says, "Love does not expect, Love only hopes."
    But what if I wait too long, waiting on "The One" that I long for,
    and when I finally do look for Love, and Love is no longer there
    because all of Love's hope is gone...?
    Oh, I am quite certain that the Love will always be there, but do
    I want to gamble on Love still being there, and am I prepared to live
    without Love ever being there again....?
    I know what Love hopes for , but before anything else, Love asks for
    honesty to Love and to myself, right now I cannot embrace a Love that
    may very well be... "The One". When in all honesty, I feel that at this point,
    this Love is not "The One" for me......

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
