Love unconditional
Is three-sixty
In every dimension
Known and unknown.

Love unconditional
Cannot include
Just you
And not “them”.

We argue conditionally
Quickly three-sixty
Dredging every dimension
Known and invented.

Hate is easy
A flamethrower
Of incensed unsense
Burning all unthinkingly.

It’s you to blame
You made me do it
You judge me I know
With incensed unsense.

HOW DOES THAT WORK
THAT I MADE YOU DO “IT”
I’M NOT JUDGING YOU AT ALL
BUT NOW I’M GETTING INCENSED.

See I am right
You’re shouting at me
You are to blame
You think this a game?

IT’S NOT ME SHOUTING
I’M THINKING ALOUD
DREDGING EVERY DIMENSION
IN A CLAUSTROPHOBIC CROWD.

Well I can’t take this
I can’t let you in
I think you have a problem
I won’t let you win.

THIS ISN’T ABOUT WINNING
IT’S NOT ABOUT BLAME
THIS IS ONLY ABOUT LOVE
IN MORE THAN JUST NAME.

You always twist it
You always do
You make it my fault
When this is all about you.

THIS ISN’T ABOUT FAULT
NOR ABOUT ME TWISTING
NOR ABOUT THE RIGHT WORDS
NOR ANY OF THIS WE DO SO WELL.

You always do this
Try to get in my head
Well I won’t have
I’m off to bed.

Love unconditional
Is thought too soft
Yet lives in fire
Of fired discontent.
Lives in hatred
Of darkness unlighted
A blind rage unsighted
Yet … alights alive and untainted.
Lives in relationships
Of every dimension
In good-bad intention
Known and invention.
Lives in thoughts
Of polar opposite view
Of fact and reinvention
Yet … arises again born anew.

Love unconditional
Is steelier stronger
Love unconditional
Whether righter-or-wronger.

I’ve tried conditional
It’s not for me.
Conditional is too weak
Depends on you – I’m not free.

Because you will let me down
Just as I will you
Unconditional knows that too
Might even say go – “Fuck you!”

Conditional then stalks away
And awaits affirmation
Unconditional comes right back
Unconditional IS my confirmation.

I choose unconditional
For strength every time
I love unconditional
‘Cos I bruise-heal fine.

That’s why unconditional
Isn’t right-wrong-blame-who

So let’s move past this

There’s living
To do.
