Wandering Love by Waya Amianan

Feel the warmth of your body

follow its sensations and

it will take you to the beating

of hearts that pulsate only

to the tune of dancing doves

and double rainbows

away from the calculations

of what is possible.

We do not fall in love with numbers

That count our tears, we cannot make

love to the zero’s and one’s and the

Yes’s and No’s.

Facts are lies.

Love lives

in myth

and mystery.

Our skin, the third lung

needs to be touched, caressed,

So our soft whispers of longing can

reach across the oceans of solitude.

When our ancestors read our palms

They knew that love had

wiggled its way into our lives

without leaving a trace, so they

had to search, find meaning in

trees that did not move in storms,

floods, and wildfires.

They knew that love jumped off

the edge of our palms,

so they turned to

the stars,

read every sparkle and glitter,

built rafts that broke,

built canoes that split in half,

and still they kept on

searching.

The brightness of the moon,

was enough so the

soul calmed down,

made love to the waves

of uncertainty, that led

to another tree and yet

another mystery.
