Know the Unknowable

Is your heart un-breakable?

Can I count on it 

to be gentle and kind  (even at your worst)?

Can I know it,  admire it -

Can I depend on its fidelity?

I would let you see me

if I could believe you will;

believe that if I let go

of reluctant sentiments

I may be free to be free.  

Is your love undoubtable?

Can I feel the fire burn

without fear it'll burn out?

Can I see it, hear it, 

trust it with certainty? 

I would let you love me

if I could believe you will;

believe that if I learned

to be and to breathe,

I may know the unknowable.
