Rambling On and On About Love
You make me feel like a
small dandelion in a field of
sunflowers.
A weed hiding with beauty
surrounding it's shrivled up body.
Your smile is like a
boquet of violets and blue bells and a splash
of roses.
The thorns prick my fingers
whenever I kiss you.
I don't mind the pain, though.
It reminds me that we are not immortal as
my thick blood somehow runs thin and drips
down my arm onto yours.
You say we're joined through blood and body.
Flesh and bone.
I say there's a string attatching our hearts
that can easily be cut. But has not
yet.
I know love is not forever and you even told me once
that to love is to be blind
and to be blind is to be free.
But how can we be free if we cannot see
the tragedies that we live in?
We're living lavishly with our heart strings intertwined
but what of those who's strings have been cut so many times
they cannot bring themselves to
love?
I used to be like those who could not seem to find the right way
to tie my knots, for the other person would seem to slip away.
Only when I met you, I learned instead to tie a figure eight
so that we could climb together and reach the top;
and if I had, like in the past, tied a slipknot
we would fall and break our frail love
necks snapping on the jagged rocks below.
I don't write to upset
but to tell the truth. Love is not forever
and I think it might just be a foolish idea.
And yet I still feel my heart stop when I look into your beautiful eyes
of caramel delight.
Oh, you make me swoon!
But is that all fake?
What if this is a facade we put up
to hide all of the horrible things outside of this little bubble
we maintain?
Fuck this.
I'm in love, I think. With
you.
Do you really love me too?
Why do I just always fall into these cycles of typhoons of questions
all drowning out my reason of reality.
What is this? A factuality of existence?
A rant.
This is what this is.
The only real explanation.
To love.
Love's definition:
A rant that never ends between your heart and head.
