No Longer Yet Forever
How can a mere mortal poet
Ever truly capture
In mere mortal words
The true nature of love?
How to describe the sensations
That go whirling through the funnel
Of one's being like a vortex,
Or the deep-rooted primal feelings
That shake mere mortals
To their very mortal souls?
How to name all those elemental forces
That sweep mortals up and out of themselves
And bring them to a pinnacle
Of almost unendurable passion
And sweet ecstasy?
The true nature of love
Is as timeless as eternity,
No longer
Yet forever
A secret.
