you're a dangerous man

to love

because if I love you

then I will have to know

what it really is 

to love

and not to cling to half a lie

I will have to learn the truths

beyond this human 

comprehending

and remember who I was

before I came 

amnesiac into this place

I will have to believe in more 

than the illusion 

of who I think I am

and accept the miracle 

of purified reality

where love is so sacred 

it humbles me back to child

with responsibility too large 

to hold with both my hands

to endeavour to hold up

with the atrophy of these arms

what Creation has granted

this disbeliever 

who did not feel worthy 

of the gift of crumbling doubt

nor the transcenion of this 

stunted vision of the world

released into unseen before

where the stakes are only love

and everything to lose 

and everything to gain

and everything to shed

and all to metamorphosize

where on the other side is light

and a universe forgotten

waiting to be explored 

waiting to be

dangerous enough

to love
