Entangled
Entangled in each other's hairs
of spiritual richness and endowment
we are hooked and stuck together
in the web of love and shamelessly enjoying it
while at the same time it gives me some conscience
of the impropriety of living just for you
ignoring other duties and the problems of all mankind.
We must compromise and split our love in different bodies,
one attending outward obligations
and the other constantly attending only you.
Thus can I love humanity and life through you
and at the same time have you as my goal
in my attention and my love of life
and obligation to humanity,
thus keeping our love humane
in loving universally
and never losing ourselves
in false love webs of selfishness.
