Confession of Love

Ricardo Saúl LaRosa

Our romance must define itself,

For I am falling for you,
I need to know if I should stay or go on,
I’ve asked you how you feel,
About us; our future?

To no avail,
Saying you don’t know,
To give you time,
But when I kiss your lips,
It’s all love that I feel,

When I hold you in my arms,

You are my world,
I confess to you that,
I’ve fallen in love with you,
Perhaps I shouldn’t have told you,

Your indecision is tormenting me,

You leave no choice,
I shall find out for myself,
In the slumber of your sleep,
My spirit left my mortal body,

I visited you while you slept,

While your spirit was away,
In dreamland,
Or who knows where,
My spirit entered your heart,

My spirit and your heart conversed,

Polite and sincere,
 I asked your heart,
If you loved me,
“I love you and another still; hoping he’ll return,”

Your heart was honest in this,

Confession of love,
That your waking conscious was unable,
To tell me,
That your heart was divided,

While you were still sleeping,

As your spirit returned,
Your heart crying told your spirit,
What just happened,
Your spirit tried to warm you,

To no avail,
For your subconscious cannot communicate directly,
With you; your conscious,
Only in dreams using symbols,
Can your subconscious convey to you knowledge,

My spirit wrote you a note:

Dearest darling,
By the time you read this note,
I will be on a plane to China,
To recover from this illusion of love,

For I cannot be with you,

Loving you as you know I do,
Whilst your heart still loves another,
I felt something was not right,
And my spirit visited your heart as you slept,

You didn’t understand,

How my spirit visited your heart,
 You consulted with a priestess sage,
Who explained what happened,
The sage told you many things:

The man who is in China is a pure soul,

A good and just man,
He did not deceive you,
By using his enchanted powers,
A mystic has a right to use,

The gifts given to him,

By the Great Spirit of the universe,
Herself,
He is hurting for you,
As you are now crying for him…

Fate had thrown the dice,

In your favor,
But your selfish heart wished for a past love,
And you were unable to see,
A true love,

Was standing in front of you…
