Potency
I am not afraid of love
but usually prefer its milder forms
with quality as number one.
The highest quality of love is spiritual,
which is superior to any physical
by inexhaustibility and limitlessness above all,
since this potential is without restrictions and impediments.
Is celibacy then what I profess?
No, celibacy is no matter in this issue,
since spiritual love demands no discipline.
It just exists, expands and works in quiet growth
unlimited creating only good relationships.
That's how it is superior to any love of concrete ties,
dissolving and annihilating all the common problems
that are unavoidable in physical relationships;
and most marvellous of all in spiritual love
is its superiority and transcendance of all earthly love
in its potential for creating warmer closeness and intimacy
in continuity that could not only last but grow forever.
