A Colossal Love

Ricardo Sal LaRosa

A poem for Jadline

O my love ! O my life ! O meum puella, Jaedlina ! Love of my love Life of my life My goddess ! The mysteries of the cosmos revealed to me in you ! Today, this very moment, tonight

As my blood runs passionately throughout my veins I wish to invite every sentient being in the universe To this celebration of life and love ! For my heart sings a thousand songs of love Take my hand my sweetness sweet Take my heart too; for it belongs to you ! Sit next to me my cherished Princess My beloved; keeper of my heart Hold my hands as I am holding you tonight For I shall never let you go away from me Now that Destiny has reunited us, again ! Let me tell you From my lips to your ears to your heart to your Spirit This endless love exploding in me for you ! The happiness your smiles have brought into my realm This faith of love in me, this wretched poet, renewed Because you dwell in my world ! O Jaedlina ! O my love ! O my life ! O meum puella, Jaedlina ! Love of my love Life of my life My goddess ! I have waited for you since before Time began And I have travelled the length and depths of the universe Looking for love

I was looking and wondering in all the wrong places For one cannot seek love unto itself One cannot find love in this galaxy or that galaxy One cannot force love when hearts are no ready And I have been in love many times afore And I have died for love with honor defending my love With no regrets whatsoever Although loves callous blades did cut and hurt me Loves cruel swords slashed my heart into pieces, lifeless Without mercy without compassion without love I do not protest For all those loves as false as they were seasoned me Cultivated me; groomed me for you; My one true love ! I was asleep Dreaming a dream with a dream living in a nightmare known as this life And I was lost my Spirit wondering in outer space As I stood upon Cydonia on Mars My soul cried out in desperations for I had given up looking for love I had lost faith in love, but, not in you My Spirit did seek your Spirit to no avail For my heart and soul were not ready to receive an unconditional love Until two and a half years ago You were near the Andromeda Galaxy When your Spirit heard my cries And with Godspeed you zoomed towards earth ! O Jaedlina !

O my love ! O my life ! O meum puella, Jaedlina ! Love of my love Life of my life My goddess ! Now I understand What this long and hard journey has been all about For now my ten spiritual eyes have been opened Not by religion Not by philosophy Not by science Not by material wealth For they have all failed me and the inhabitants of this planet But, by one sweet, sweet kiss from your honeyed lips to mine ! And I have fallen fervently in love with you ! O my love ! O my life ! O Jaedlina ! You are my rising sun every morning upon this world ! You are my life; you are my love and I am yours Here I stand not alone anymore For you are standing next to me Here I stand next to you proudly ! And ready to protect; to cherish; to adore you, my love ! And ready to defend your life; your dignity; your honor to the death ! For you are my love as I am your love, unconditionally

You are the stars that twinkle every night in the heavens above Just for me ! You are the tears in my eyes crying of happiness of blissfulness ! You are my goddess of love You are my Princess And the Princess of this earth And the heir apparent Queen of the Milky Way Galaxy ! I was asleep lost in a dream a never ending dream within a dream Not anymore, my darling for your kisses has awakened me ! O my love ! O my girl ! O Jaedlina ! You are Jaedlina in my poems Camouflaging your true identity from those jealous gods Who once caused our demise and separation and envy us still You are Jadline in those love letters I write to you, But, in my arms you are always Jade ! Your innocent laughter soothes my soul Your naivet detonates mystical knowledge in me The glow in your eyes lights my way The warmth of your touch fills me with love You drench me with your kisses with your sighs with your murmurings of love Upon my heart; upon my soul; upon my Spirit; upon my world ! This is love ! You are love ! Jadline is LOVE ! My love !

She is my love and mine alone ! And no soul, demented or insane or sane can touch her as I do ! For she is mine ! O my love ! O my girl ! O Jaedlina ! And I have come to love you; to adore you; to cherish you; to honor you Beyond what words can express This is love ! A colossal love From your heart to my heart Two souls in love Two Spirits entwined as one My Jadline ! My goddess ! My Princess ! And my eternal love ! ! !
