LOVE, a theory (collaboration with Traveler)

*

Cné

I believe in love...

In a blink of an eye, a life goes by

extinguished in the end.

And all that's done returns to dust.

No omen can portend.

Yet love lives on, infecting all

and never really dies

It goes beyond the realm of man

to live in fragrant skies.

And on the spacious sea of clouds,

it waits to find a port.

And then it anchors in a soul

to caper and cavort.

 

Traveler

Perhaps

In the emotional beginning

When head was yet held high

Stumbling through clouds

Of bright blurry skies

Love was a foolish quest

Of paralyzing highs

And now you're telling me

Love can never die?

 

Cné

Translucent,

the clouds we've sailed

and golden sunsets made

Kisses that we could have had

while watching rainbows fade.

Alas, a life's too short to spend

in fathomless regret.

Perhaps the wheel will turn again

another lifetime yet.

And so, my love

the voyage goes on,

to "golden years"?

We'll see.

Until

the other side reveals

what shall become of "we".

 

Traveler

Indeed

A dangerous theory

I can't imagine

Love roaming free

The source of all misery

Another invisible ghost

Possessing unaware host

Surely

Love is the blood we bleed

All across time and history

Love is more than a mere key

More than a want

Love is a need...
