36. Insufficiency
How many poems must be written
in order for my love to be expressed?
I am afraid my powers will not be sufficient
to fill up those volumes of infinity.
Or shall I say, that not the finest poem
in existence will do justice to my love
since she is far more perfect than what any art can be?
Or being human, she transcends all art,
since beauty is a matter of spirituality,
which therefore matter can not form.
So let's abide by that and with respect resign
from further effort to expose our love
and its true nature, since it is too intimate
to ever be unveiled to uninitiated eyes.
