Just You

I wrestle
with myself
in places
too small
for both of us
and in surrender
I found
a heart
has only room
for one

Ah, but a heart has more than one chamber and many cells. There are many different kinds of love, surely your capacity is great.

Though I may seem to disagree with your premise, your poem is finely written, and I really do know that you mean 'one love' being an intent of monogamy, fidelity to that one true love.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

(smiles) When it comes to monogamy, there is only room for one, but when it comes to the unconditional love, the room available is limitless and infinite! (kiss on cheek) I love this, sweet friend, love is one wide open space, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Helen, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

as long as there is love for oneself......and one other.....thats all that matters.  Many different forms of love.....but only self love will outlast all others.
