What now for love and comfort

What now for love and comfort
Thou has found me
Content in my own
Desires

What for oh love
Tis not thee I seek
But my own self
To be satisfied

And thee objectified
Tis but folly
And facade
A demigod

Of my own creation
My approximation
Of thy authentic kind
Yet where oh love

Can one find
Such a love
Unselfish
As thee

Oh love
For all my
Complacency
Love why

Do thou remain
Unchanged
So faithful
When all I know

Tis folly
Of my own
Choosing
And all

Confusing
Succumb to my own
Deceit oh love
Break me of this

For thy tender kiss
I dare reminisce
Save even this
Tis loneliness

To give without
Expectation
Thou hast
No reservation

Oh love
Show me how
To love as thee
For I am all

Complacency
To love for love's sake
And not my own
So love

Be in me
As thou
Has taught
And catch me

In thy gaze
And hold me fast
For only this love
Will surely last

So keep me
From all
Foolish
Ventures

And humble me
That I unselfishly
May so love
The least of these

As thou so graciously
Hath loved me
For who I am
And not as I should be
