If love is so difficult why is necessary?

Illustration: Henn Kim

How difficult is love, 
But how necessary... 

Necessary the chest 
That contracts itself and choke us
Or inflates itself and elevate us. 

Necessary the stomach 
That can be packed of black holes  
Or butterfly's wings...

How difficult is love
That feels in the belly
That comes from the viscera,
From the guts,
From that organic impulse
That every single human
Is desperate to bury  

How difficult is love 
That makes us so little,
That takes away our shields  
And smashes our walls...
That hides in every pore  
And appears without warning...

How difficult is love 
That makes us face huge demons
Or takes us to meet the angels...

How difficult is love 
That makes us cry
Sometimes a puddle,
 Sometimes a river.

Eros


Illustration: Henn Kim

An angel just told me
That your voice's sweetness
Can lower the guard
Of thousands of armies

That by looking at the sky
Your pupils extinguish
The moon's isolation

An angel just told me
That just your smile
Can melt any ice...

That the butterflies
Envying your softness
And the word nobleness
Was born from your eyes.
