One: A Poem To Myself

To never feel the presence of One
who resolves to share with you
your pleasure and your pain.

You don’t want One
You are better off alone
you say - it's nothing but lies.

Don’t deny yourself of One
who will satiate your yearning to be treasured
like a jewel found on the ocean floor.

Imagine being loved by One
with the passion of a million embers
converging in the darkness,
creating a fiery union across the sky.

You will be admired by One
Acknowledge your due
with fastidious selection.
Don’t turn away
from that which will complete you.

When you learn to trust the One
You will know
no dark nights of solitary existence
nor days of empty reflection.

He is out there waiting too - the One.
Don’t close the door
to your heart.
