Jen: Poetry of Unrequited Love & Indelible Endearment

To truly know a thing without experiencing it is impossible. And so it is that I know the greatest of things because of you, including the words 'love, ' 'adoration, ' 'endearing' and 'indelible, ' and the purpose of existence: to unearth and cultivate the interconnective spiritual tissue that, in its perfectly inseparable totality, defines God.

I've written countless pages, contemplating divinity throughout, but it's the pages impressed by you that hold the greatest force of divinity for me, for they're the richest in love, that which God most is, the force of all inspiration and creation. I can't speak for others, but for me there's a permanence to falling in love, like it's locked in and can't be touched, regardless of the state or even the lack of the relationship between the lover and she whom I so dearly loved, woven through my heart, entirely intermeshed: JEN. She's forever on a pedestal; a symbol and sense of subsuming desire. The poems herein are presented in the order in which they were written, excerpted from three independent projects, in order to give you a sense of the unruliness of the assailed, romantic heart unappeased by the sating of its timeless needs. These poems are a testament to those needs, and an homage to the one person who most made me feel them.
