Nothing Else Matters

 

The Evanescence of Love In The Year 2020

 

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.

You Don't Know What Love Is

 

You Don't Know What Love Is

You don't know what pain is

Till your heart's been sliced in two

You don't know what tears are

Till it's turned your brown eyes blue

You don't know how rain stings

Till it's rained inside your heart

You don't know how wholeness feels

Till your soul's been ripped apart.

You don't know, will never know

How my love cries out to you

You, who left me easily

And never loved me true.

You don't know the sunshine

For you never liked the day

You only liked the midnight

When your love came out to play

Look at me. Look at me, boy!

See the heartbreak in my eyes

See the longings I still have for you

Though you only gave me lies

If I could hear just one sweet word

It would mend my heart, I think

But our love was like the Titanic

Doomed, destined to sink

You look at me and wink your eye

Like it's all a silly game

You say you miss me and mentally thumb

Your black book for my number and name

"Oh, sweet girl!" you say and give me a whirl

In the rain on the street by the tree

Where our lips first touched and I loved you so much

When you carved that big heart there for me

And I think of the day when like school children at play

We yelled "She's my love and I am just his!"!

But to a scoundrel you turned and my heart crashed and burned

Realizing that you don't know what love is.
