BEYOND VALENTINES©

Glenn Johnson

 Love’s mirage of simplicity:

                   More than just showing up . . .

                                                              More than just taking . . .

                                                                     More than just being taken . . .

                                                                            Taken again and again . . .

                                                                                     Taken where?

                                                                           . . . Ask me . . . Ask you . . .

 Valentines easily written . . .

                Valentine’s paper heart easily torn.

. . . Love’s own crucible of truth . . .

Hearts’ truths . . . together learned . . . no easy lessons.

Will you teach me your love?

May I teach you my love?

 . . . For myself I can say . . .

know a few basics:

How to open my heart.

How to give and take.

How to pay attention.

How to listen.

Home work willingly done.

Will you say student of love mine?
