Our sovereignty
Pride and independence stand between us
separating us like something of our own worst enemies
originated by our own best qualities.
I offer you my help, but you will not accept it
out of pride and independence and politeness,
wanting to take care of everything yourself
and going the official way without support,
not listening to others or accepting alien advice,
while I treat you the same way,
not accepting any help or your advice
and keeping independently straight on my own course
steering blindly out of reach for anyone;
but all this sovereignty, pride and independence
is developed just to give more space to love,
enlarge the possibility for its existence
and provide a larger room in the cathedral
for the greatness of our hearts to roam
to give more freedom to our love,
which can not stand restrictions
and which in this world can't find enough space to expand
since love, if it is honest, craves much more than all
and never can be satisfied or have enough.
Excuse my pride and independence,
but it's only to give you and us a wider berth
to cultivate, expand and let our love continue thriving in.
