love deforms the heart to fit its object
deforms; no, perfects
through union, fit to fit.
A new and altered shape, and one
never to be quite lost, an impression
whose bruise goes so much deeper
than skin
the face of she you love, there
the light comes flying off her skin
absorbed by her, with joy it flings
itself away to spread her out
across the universe,
at constant speed
to anyone with eyes to see
the light deforms to carry her -
her form to every eye it can.
It has taken her on
and taken her in
the light will never be the same
the love you put out, took her form
came back to you, it's useless now
for any other purpose but
to see her smile,
cry for joy
that you can be her cause
of joy
that you can be a gift to her,
who is a gift to you
as if from god.
and love,
love deforms the heart
to fit its object
love perfects the heart
for only one
and loves makes love
so useless now,
for any other purpose
but one.
and seeing her
and holding her
and being hers
to hold.
is enough
and should it go...?
and should she go
and should love go,
should one's one love
go,
the reverse-impression made
upon your heart, by her hard face
in the last time that you see the light
that flings itself from her to you,
the print that makes will never fade
and it's become quite useless now,
the heart deforms its object, love
- quite uselessly, remains.
Proves true
