Chimera
Listen to poem:
Love's a fluid chimera, flowing through a maze,
Its essence transforming, in a damp misty haze.
A mystic phantasm, defies any grasp or hold,
Its omen of joy, a tragedy, yet to unfold.
In its tender moments, it's a charming embrace,
A gentle murmur whispered, a touch soothing grace.
But, all in a flash, it transforms, changes its guise,
Becomes a raging tumult, a stormy surprise.
A chameleon of colors, emotions entwined,
A blend of flavors, so intricately combined.
A sweet, salty, sour and umami, salsa dance,
Fleeting and elusive, just like a furtive glance.
Love's chimera pulls the threads of desires,
Ignites fierce passions, breeds hot, wildfires.
Then, extinguishes them with its morphs and shifts,
Leaving hearts to ponder its myriad rifts.
So cherish the moments it brings, both strong and mild,
Embrace its mystery, like a curious child.
For love, the fluid chimera, will forever be,
A wondrous enigma, in an ever-changing sea.
