No Matter What!

No Matter-
That all my life
I’ll have to wait for you…

No Matter-
Maybe, that it will
Take another lifetime, maybe more…?

No Matter-
My heart will pump, and recycle,
Beating in the hope of greeting yours!

As a matter of fact-
What does it matter at all-
I ask myself;
When,
I know you’re in the same soup
Of Existence, that really doesn’t matter!

So what’s this hogwash all about
You wonder…?
Nothing much, but everything in entirety,
That really matters!
What, of course, I’m trying to say
Is simply this:

We’ll meet-
For sure!

No matter what!!

The Flip Side

The flip side of Love
You say-
Is the pain.

Does Love ever guarantee
No-pain-no-risk-no-tears?
Did it Ever?

The Happiest of Lovers,
Star-Crossed ones too
Will vouch for this:

Love Hurts, because you love;
Because only Love can Hurt!
And only Love can be the Salve
That soothes the hurt!

Don’t worry, that is the flip side;
So, when you love,
Stay Sunny-side Up!
And fear not, if the
Coin does flip:
Remember,
All you’ve got to do
Is flip yourselves over
And Leap, once more

Into Love’s Arms!
