Permit Me

Permit me if you will to speak of this great obscurity called love I am not here to preach or feed your preconceived clichéd ideas of linguistic and rhythmic words live above and dove. I am here to invoke what is already deeply embedded in the very Fabrics of your soul. I want to insight that traitorous smile that creeps in on a long day When the sanity of your heart won’t let your mind be whole.I am not talking about the rushing waves that caress the contours Of her body as you stare into her eyes and make love to her entire being with just a single kiss. It is that silent completion that just her mare presence is enough And to hear her speak is simply pure bliss. I am enraged by the notion that love is only an emotion,a feeling A state of mind that comes and goes like a headache.It surely makes my head ache when I see so many emotional Structures fade because the foundation were built on temporary Infatuated bricks. It is not the desperate yearnings of companionship nor the loneliness but the blind ambition to attain love that most angers me. we settle for a good perception in place of perfection t o ease our conscious. If could open your eyes then I would eradicate your illusions and place love in your hand for you to taste it.I said If could open your eyes then I would eradicate your illusions and place love in your hand for you to taste it. It is not a feeling of butterflies in your stomach when they appear.Hell it isn’t even in the silent whispers as you attempt to gather your breath from the sweet wrath of her bosom. Its more refined like 1953 corvette or a 1960’s chevrotte impala you would love to own one but settle for a 5series BMW instead it is not the value but the overall cost that most frightens you. So instead of saving we invest in physical pleasures and material things. We become luminary in satisfaction and perfectionists in pleasure. It is best to detach from all lust and desire if it will only pro long the joy and serenity of soul matched beings what are we in the end if we have all we desire and lack the love we need?
