The Evanescence of Love
In The Year 2020
Ethereal, though it was
In every way
Every day, it became
More and more eternal in it's scope
Everlasting, as it were
Even to the eyes of everyone else.
I admit, in terms of eternity
Few things last, most expire
In the exhalation of a breath
Or the exploration of the unknown
Everything but true love
Especially true love
Whatever that might be in terms of explanation.
But I saw in your expressive eyes
The ephemeral asking to become more permanent,
More tangible, more set in stone,
More inexhaustible and undeniable
And I stopped where I stood
And pondered upon the matter, expressed by your eyes
Yet unspoken by your mouth.
But upon the taking of my lips by yours,
All doubt fled away
And in your eager embrace
I found an earnestness and existence I had not known
But had extensively sought all my days.
The clouds eavesdropped upon us
And the sun smiled effervescently
Dropping sunshine like raindrops
On our enchanted faces
As love enveloped us, enclosed us, in it's arms.
And thus, we existed in this happy place,
This eloquent place, this place of elation,
Electric kisses and unexpected bliss
Looking forward to the expanding horizons
That predicted and predicated no earthly ending.
But alas! The unforseen arose
With storm filled skies and thunder in the air
And things that had been solid before
Seemed liquid now
Seemed to be inconstant and indefinable
No longer eternal but temporal.
For even the Earth is a temporary thing
If you think about it
Volcanoes and earthquakes can burn it to ash
And crush it to dust
Bodies can die and spirits, vacate.
But oh, the shock of losing love!
Having something seemingly solid
Turn back to ethereal wishes of the mind,
No longer even ephemeral......
But merely evanescent, fleeting,
Like the glimpse of a rainbow in the mist
And the extinguishing of a dream
In the blink of an eye
Evanescent.
