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 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.

The Crossroad Of Darkness and Light

 

The CROSSROAD

+

OF DARKNESS AND LIGHT 

There were two lovers, star-crossed bound

Born in the same century, at the same hour

But years apart

Soul mates, if such a thing exists.

They grew up searching for one another

In strangers' eyes and strangers' hearts

Feeling the longing and needing of the other

But never meeting nor given that divine appointment.

They became poets and writers of thought

Expressing themselves 

The only way they knew how

And yet in expression, became all the more lonely.

And years of life went by on different continents

Speaking with different tongues

Living two different lives

Full and yet void of true satisfaction.

The boy and girl, the woman and man

At the end of themselves one bright shining day

Crossed each other's paths

And saw in the other the treasure hard sought.

But alas, the joy was all too brief

And the anguish came and washed it away

Not comprehending, not understanding

That there could not be what they wanted to be.

There could not be

Because their paths had both reached a crossroad

And one went to the left and one to the right

And would never join again.

You see, one of them loved the darkness

And one of them loved the light

The choices all souls born to this realm

Have to make before their journey ends.

The Book of Truth says that no man can serve two masters

For he will love the one and hate the other

And that light can have no fellowship with darkness

Because none can walk together unless they be agreed.

And so that is where the lovers found themselves

Two sides of the same coin, as it were

With only a thin layer, a thin veil between them

So very near and yet so far away.

Constantly reaching and ever repulsing

Pulling toward and pushing away

They could not find a common ground

And so lived life with souls asunder.

For one would write of darkness

But to reveal it, expose it and curse it

And the other would write of the same

But to revel in it, glorify it and bless it.

And that would sever their bonds forever

The soulmates born to complete one another

Unless one fell down to darkness

Or one rose up to light.
