Today's Love

Today I love,

Effortlessly without hesitation and judgement,

With wisdom and lessons learnt,

Yesterday's Love was something else,

Something far different,

It was a yearning, a want, an accessory,

Full of schemes, complications and targets,

But somehow burnt like a cheap candle,

That smokes with uncertainty yet smell of a welcoming hunger,

In our bodies, butterflies reside and heart beats like a rave gone wrong,

An excitement of a new beginning,

That finally, this may be the one that makes us whole,

A false hope that our need for another will conquer all,

All our despair, hopelessness and loneliness,

How I was sadly mistaken but gladly taught,

That Love, was tainted, not by us,

But by the image we hang above ourselves,

With lists of perfection that had to be ticked or imperfections crossed out,

A desire through eyes that only see our own reflection,

But somehow, that clarity was never apparent,

Now, I know better,

Because today, Love is an acceptance, an understanding,

It is all I can ever hope to give without needing it back,

For I know that when I fully submerge my life with this Love,

Everything changes,

Where there is no need to be afraid of reasons and outcomes,

Of being, looking and feeling a certain way other than what is,

It has no preference, no discernment, no right or wrong,

A contradicting yet everlasting frequency that not only give me the full control of my destiny,

But shall provide me with a lifetime of peace and joy,

For today, Love is not a person, an action, a want or a dream,

Love is a stand, a perception, a reality.

It is everywhere, in every moment,

Only if you choose, this Love, invariably.
