Loving Myself

A poem on love

I feel
proud
shameful
blessed
guilty
of being in love
with myself

The world
universe
earth
nature
life
humanity
and you
this is what I seek
in me

This is the way
I love me

It's not peace
it's not power
it's not balance
it's not chaos
it's not flow

It's not ascending
it's not transcending
it’s not the music
it's not the highs and lows

It's beyond recognition
it’s beyond validation
it’s beyond accusation
it's beyond perception
it's beyond imagination

This is what love is to me
please don’t be so mad
this is how I love you
