July – Only Love
“Only Love”, by Jane McArthur

Only Love (c&p Jane McArthur, 2015)
Heart beats beating
Words lose meaning.
A gentle thunder in my ear,
Love rushed blood is all I hear.
Now you’re leaving
With facts deceiving what’s really in my heart.
Your truth a smoke cloud around my head
Dissipating so fast, too fast to be read.
And truth is
Elusive
At the best of times.
When we strip back all the fear
There’s only the love that you feel
And all the clumsy things that you say
No longer get in the way.
Something drives me
But it is nothing like me.
I’m but a creature in the dark
Blind without the light that shines
From a free heart.
I can’t see you
There is an outline but you’re see through.
Or is that just my eyes?
Clouded by a premonition
Of an unformed loves demise.
And truth is
Elusive
At the best of times
But worse, through this
Obtrusive
State of mind.
Sometimes things get out of line
When your heart’s beating double time
And all the clumsy things that you say
Just go and get in the way.
So just strip back all the fear
Until there’s only love that you hear
Then all the clumsy things that you do
Come from a place of truth.
