“Karmic Love”

Is it love, or destiny, or karmic retribution
that brought you to my door?
Will it be love evermore,
or is it just another lesson in waiting,
Waiting to bring more pain, heralding
yet another love that was never meant to be
but only meant to teach, or to resolve karma?
DAMN KARMA!
Can’t the universal guards see
we’re trying to stay in love down here?
As difficult as it must be, to be
a guard in karmic-retribution training
they have to see that we, as humanity
need to love, and be loved
and to feel free enough to trust
love! We simply must entrust and thrust
ourselves into loving completely, otherwise
who are we, really?
If we can’t be free to be truly in love
(without fear of yet another broken heart)
then how can we live our destiny
to the full extent of the law?

I must say, this karma crap is really starting to annoy me!
Can we get on with it? Can the show begin?
Or do I have to wait for a 'fat lady' to sing
before I can truly enjoy being in love?
