WHEN I LOVE
When I love I want everyone to love with me;
I want to live in the paradise of lovers; a thousand
Sultans with their harems is just what I like
A thousand griffins living in a drop of water, guard
The gold that is there. A hundred quantum Jesuses
Are walking in infinite Jerusalems of the universe.
Yes, I have a greedy soul; it wants to take the entire
Universe in for the experience. When I see how much
There is to love, I want my name on all the guest books.
We all put our trust in the setting stars; we repay this
Trust with unfaithfulness I do not want secret accomplishes
But the openness of love and will bare those admonitions.
Yesterday a tsunami swept over a certain part of the world;
It brought death. I want a tsunami of love to sweep the earth;
I want love bombs to be dropped all over unhealed places.
Disaster comes when we forget to love. Let Italian fiddlers
Play near the prodigal son and let all who forget love join
The grasshoppers who take in the fiddle music from the grass.
