For the petson who gave me these words <> Love is: *A multi celled organism, roughly round, but not of necessity circular, (circular love, easily shift shapes. BE wary) It is, both fluid and rock hard concrete, Overly defined and/or a deconstructed aerie breeze, unmeasurable, immeasurable, Except for the speed of its Arrival and the hurricane of its Departure, Unseen and the Unsound, so soon disappeared Surely it is sensory, for I have witnessed, this L0VE notional I have seen, tasted, heard, envisioned even actually felt And yet, a grown poet shed tears, Upon completion of a love poem, And recipient of said poem weeps without term getting through another day. and the day after., but precision counts,* It is  the knot of not, the tied up exhaustion of the absence thereof, the dulling that that hopefully takes the edge off the blade, but does not, Erased when open eyes & declare awake, for the duller the day gets, the more the blade cuts ragged deeper, its horrific edge scratches like broken nails, bite like jagged teeth Stars ***** you deep, Hugs squeeze your breath out, away, Dreams disappear, the sweet taste, retained, fain but faint on the edges of the tongue, blurry but there, silently reverberating, and the memory of the sensation is never entirely erased, but getting through the day, 'tis sufficient, even adequate for the love of hope the love of love, no matter what you deny, is the tablet swallowed unconsciously, so getting through to the next day is the unlocking key
