Rise

Rise

We do not fall in love.

We rise in love.

Love is not an act of falling,

but of pure ascension

Even mighty mountains fall

below us when we love and show love.

The sky becomes our kingdom

and the heavens open their pearly gates to our open heart.

Love is an emotion of purity,

not tainted by the poison

of everyday ills.

When we rise in love, we kiss

the tips of the universe,

and when we get our hearts broken,

we plummet to the deepest depths of fiery hell.

Even death is temporary while in the gaze of love.

Our universal love will ring through the ages, deafening

everything that comes in its path
