a moment alone

love is not what it is if
what love is is truly this
love not what love is truly
lonely is not what love is
is love not what it is if
what it is is what we are

love is not this if it is
or isn't what it appears
if love, not this then my dear
and if my dear love it is
then this is it; love it is

moment alone to reflect
memory with no regret
modest anger, resentment
modular with no center

love is not what it is if
what love is is truly this
is what love is truly it
learning to recognize it
wearing love on your sleeves it's
lovely and not love is it?

love is indeed this and i
remember it and find it
in secret corners of my
mind with a moment alone
