Love and patience

The one and the same

it is not a country

that to the impatient

offers citizenship, no

love is as close as faraway

as immediate as never 

but alas!

in ignorance 

laced with conviction

which in turn with doubt is soaked

we write lexicons:

love is such and such

so too patience: such and such;

and open out hearts to bliss

and to insanity our minds.
