Love is a Hole

There is a hole
that drops
to a neverending tunnel.

People seek,
people dream,
some stray away,
some are pushed in
this place.

Stay in forever,
in the deep,
or shallow.

Climb out
only to fall again.

Always dark.
What lies around the corner?
There are many
tricks and traps.

You can be the only one inside,
have one more,
or many more
all at once.

Many more
than one,
everyone gets hurt.

Fall with the
wrong one,
and be forever left
in the dark.

Fall in with the right one,
the one
who carries the flashlight
in the breast pocket.
Pull the map
from under your hat.
Put the pieces together.
Find the way.

See the way,
then light the way.

Through the darkness,
around the corners,
past the tricks and traps.

Find the room shining
like the sun,
gleaming gold,
and shimmering diamonds.

The place of rich
happiness.

The place
to spend every moment with
the one
that fell with you.
