63. There is no importuning in true love
There is no importuning in true love.
All doors are open – there is nothing to break down,
true love can never be enforced,
since its existence makes all force unnecessary.
Thus is even sexuality made superfluous
when love exists as all that matters.
Only one thing you must never do in love:
desert your heart and your beloved.
If she has gained access to your heart
you must not ever lock her out from there,
since spiritual divorce is an impossibility
and worse than suicide and murder,
since it is the soul that is involved and matters.
When your soul is the performer of your art of love,
and your soul has been taken in possession by another,
there is no way out in all eternity from that engagement.
You were married long before you even met.
Poetry by Christian Lanciai
