Factual philosophers, fantastical physicists

My encounter, although mistakingly enlightening

Leaves me more baffled than before.

Do my words inherit the glow, similar to my daydreaming movements?

As if they were prematurely made, a banner across my silhouette.

Attached before the words can escape my mouth.

 

I wonder tonight about the necessity of freedom of speech

Curious to understand the rate of which our minds have developed, or been manipulated.

Is it our human defect of guilt the thing that encourages us to open our mouths?

Merely to humor our lowly human selves.

 

But I fumble

As words escape my lips, and enter your mind,they cannot be translated.

You cannot read my genuine emotion, as the life and purpose is ****** out as they are inscribed across your palm

So I write, and I materialize these things before they are evaporated.

 

Yes, I am confusing, and I apologize if I am further misunderstood

But, , my friend, I do love you

Purely, true and eternally

Yet I cannot give you what you desire.

 

Newton was both right and wrong

Love cannot be created nor destroyed

This energy flows continuously, passed from friend to friend

youthfully and innocently as friendship is meant to be

 

But, what he did not consider was the love of truth and purity

Which in the end is no energy, as they would have us believe

This love is an essence, similar to that formed the blood flowing through our family

Yet has something more

 

This love I speak honestly of,

Is unselfish

Is no medal of achievement

It bestows upon you the drive to be the highest you

It is the essence for the creation  of the one thing that they can never offer

True love, and true love of yourself.
