I love openly with my heart,
like a gushing river free and unbound ...
But this is not a dance I can do alone ...
I hear it say from deep within
with a sad sigh and muted moan ...

Surely, I was not born to give so much ,
only to end up with a lonely empty space beside me ...
Surely, not only in books and movies
exists such ...
I still believe it is so ... and to be ....

Upon reading Viggo Mortensen's words
about living with his longtime partner in Spain ...

(" I feel happy living there , because she's the woman
I love. I am totally hers and I'm delighted.")

I realize such unashamedly romantic,
intensely devoted men still exist ...
With nothing but everything to gain,
to live with your chosen love
and find it utmost fulfilling,
not, therefore, in this lifetime,
impossible to attain ....

What more can a loving woman
    desire to hold in her heart beating...
No other than exactly words from a man 
    such as these ....
to turn into warming sun ....
      the seemingly relentless rain ....
And never more to wrestle
    with such  musings and questions
        now nor ever again ...
