Wild Love

Can you love with no conditions?
It sounds like a simple question
But, in reality, it might take you,
Your entire eternity to answer.
The universe is made of laughter
But, to discover what's so funny
You might visit hell and heaven
More times than you can count.
If there is nothing else but love
Then what are the conditions?
What would they be made of?
Where would love disappear?
Isn't it only thanks to conditions
That we are able to fully feel it?
To know exactly how love flows
Shouldn't we put it in a nice box?
A bit like if we would wrap a gift
With much care for the surprise
Just looking at the paper around
You'll never guess what is hidden.
And, aren't all gifts made of love?
So, why sometimes are we so sad
Why do we never dare to receive
The most wild kind of love there is?
The real problem is not in the offer
Most know exactly how to give it all
Each can provide the unconditional
But so few know how to receive it.
This is where the real challenge is
Our incapacity to feel what's there
It's the visceral terror inside the being
That prevents you from feeling true love.
You can love unconditionally only
When heart of the other can open
When the one who receives, feels
Has the courage to be loved thus.
You cannot offer your unlimited love
To someone who doesn't trust you
It's up to them to decide and choose
How much of this wild love they desire.
Love is like a forever flowing fountain
It will never dry and never disappear
But if the other is not even that thirsty
Do you think they would care to drink?
Some might come with a big truck
Fill their reservoirs with those waters
Some might try to put it in plastic bottles
To keep it safe or to sell it, who knows.
Some might move next to that fountain
Put a permanent camping site around
They will drink when they truly want to
Rest of time they will honor its beauty.
Some might try to create the walls
Tell everybody it's now just owned
They might not even drink in there
But still forbid the free open access.
Some might be so happy, excited
They have finally found its source
They might scream on the rooftop
To let the entire world know this.
But how to tell them where it is?
It's not really hidden, but still
To get to that mysterious place
They must suspend judgment.
Are you insane or just naively fool?
How can I stop using my safe reason
How can I look at you now and trust
The unlimited, unconditional love?
How do you even want me to stop
Cruel judgments that are so dear
This is my favorite self-protection
This is exactly how I close to love.
The rigid conditions of my prison
The comfortable, safe structures
Boring existence of usual known
Still feels less terrifying than wild.
And yet, I still dream in my silence
Of being held in mysterious ways
Of feeling the supporting ground
While flying like a galaxy in space.
But how can I have a body in form
If I don't accept certain conditions?
How can I make my soul experience
Something so strangely omnipresent?
To find love, I need to hide it first
To discover it one day, I must forget
To remember, I need to taste the pain
The bitterness of losing and betrayal.
Where would be the meaning of our life
If we already mastered how to truly love
Where would we even find any pleasure
If there were no conditions to overcome?
If you live in a house without any walls
Could you even say you have a house?
How would you differentiate in and out
If your love is unconditionally boundless?
Can you feel this exciting moment inside
Shift from numbness to sensing arriving
How can you bloom in unknown textures
If you have never conditioned the love?
The silly irony of paradoxical existence
To create the desired soul expansion
We must embrace the full contraction
The most intense unloving condition.
What value the joy of liberation has
If you have never been imprisoned?
How can you know how poison tastes
If you have never dared to drink it?
If love is like our second breath
If love feels like the little death
If love makes us powerfully alive
Then how can you say no to it?
Maybe it's precisely why you run
From raw intensity and wildness
The love that has zero conditions
What could be more terrifying?
Can you even imagine the power
If all the energy in entire universe
Could be felt in that magic instant
When you get into freedom of love.
Will your heart be strong enough?
Will your mind choose to accept it
Will your body completely surrender
Could your soul trust such unknown?
Do you understand what it means
You ask for love with no conditions
But you don't yet have what it takes
To even be able to openly receive it.
This kind of love can literally kill you
It can destroy your soul like a tornado
If you have no idea how to remain still
In the frequency of unconditional love.
True love is the most secret weapon
It's the deadliest strategy there is
There is no war you could be losing
If you knew how to let it transform you.
When to open and when to close
When to give and when to receive
When to hold and when to let go
All the variations of to be or not to be.
Love that is truly without conditions
Transcends, this love doesn't care
About any of those limited questions
It already knows it's all of it everywhere.
Can you die because you loved too much?
Of course you can. And you probably will.
One day you may be lucky or crazy enough
To let your deep heart explode thanks to it.
Don't be naive, you will suffer greatly still
Love doesn't come in nice color pink only
The entire range of electromagnetic field
Is already integral part of such deep love.
Maybe you should be sincerely grateful
When people put some wise boundaries
When they clearly tell you the conditions
To give it or to receive the love from you.
What if the conditions are even required
To have any real pleasure of playing love
What if it's exactly what keeps you safe
What if unconditional love is an illusion?
The ultimate summit of all the illusions
The point of singularity of all the veils
The void of the entire shared existence
What would you do in a space like that?
Isn't it hilarious to consciously realize
That those silly lies of conditional love
Is exactly what keeps you so passionate
About your own self-transcendence?
Doesn't that make you laugh out loud
This funny situation of such confusion
When your fears have melted by magic
And, you saw the love, but didn't take it.
Have you understood why it happened
What kind of new conditions you desired
What was the emerging game you wanted
What is the construct we have co-created?
Once you see and recognize true love
Wild, unknown, crazy stuff can happen
And, yet, you would probably not bother
You might be possessed by its powers.
The irrelevance of meaningless action
The confusion about what's real or not
How do you actually distinguish in you
The difference between love and fear?
Once you understand how to answer
How to feel the subtlety of the question
Once you actually see both as whole
You might be able to feel unconditional.
So, the paradox of wild love is endless
It's a game that never actually stops
Your entire existence, life and death
Are bound by our nonexistent conditions.
