I am trying oh so hard
to love you so unselfishly
what can I do?
what can I say?
when will you understand, love's free?

Nothing, did I do, I know,
a nothing ache, within me grows,
nothing's one with evolution
nothing--absolute solution..

Everything begs absolution.
Zero's eggs of restitution.

Tell me--where I find it then?
Is there tally of the ZEN?
Where is the road
that goes back when?
what color ink, my constitution....

Tell me, how to stop - I WILL...
tell me now to not fulfill...
tell me how to go away...
say I'll live another day,
learn to live another way...
and tell me, it's not prostitution.

You deserve better. No one should make you question your values.
Good read.

I agree with Melton of course...this is sad and painful but you've penned it with such poetic virtuality so that others can relate. This is the blues to me and it pours from the heart that hurts. Like John Lee Hooker's song on the album The Healer..."The blues will heal ya."
Great write Celeste and may you pen thousands more ...right here where you are so appreciated!     ethome

The last line really hits hard, powerful and beautifully penned poem. Peace.  

It's in your eyes a fire that's wild and glorious
Unhibited, unfinished in everything I do Let the morning rise like our hearts desire" whipping boy
