The Evanescence of Love In The Year 2022

 

The Evanescence of Love

 In The Year 2022

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 unforeseen 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.
