Love Poem: The Cost of Truth and Love

The Cost of Truth and Love

Who comes with a self sustaining fire
To hold inside the heart for our survival
For you and I there is no gravity
Between the stars there are no secrets
No place to hide from truth and love

There is only love and us contained
Stars are born to burn complete 
Who can hold time in abeyance in the void
There is no margin of error in the universe

Paradise is just around the corner of a smile
Where penetrating light arrives my love
Burnt in the mind and soul of truth
Self sustaining light comes at a cost
Where is it now so I can buy it
