You have made the eternal decision
my brother
casting yourself upon another
to love and protect.
Please follow the lead set for you
by our elders
the generation who committed themselves fully
allowing nothing to breach the bonds of holy love.
Not war, famine, immigration, holocaust
could break their connections
for the union which binds you
let no man or women break.
Yet do not forget the man you have become
do not cast yourself
to the fate of blue collar Americana
living in personal misery at the cost of love.
Your gift of thought and inquisition
should not be cast aside
for you cannot truly love another
until you live your life in the direction of hope and fufillment.
One cup of life cannot remain full of bounty
while the others are putrid and foul
rotting away at the love
which you run to at full speed.
She can only be your north and south
if you take the time to find your seed of life
and plant it in the garden of personal fufillment
beyond the love that aches your soul and strains your bones.
She will be more than you can ever imagine
and I hope the world of happiness for you
my brother
yet heed my sliver of wisdom.
She will lose you to the abyss of pain and loathing
if you do not find your own way
if you are not fufilled in all aspects of your life,
neither will she.
You are unlimited, my brother
do not squander your hope and visions
because you will feel the deepest loss
if love leaves your heart
at the expense of the man you can become.
You are unlimited, my brother.
