Romance Knows Not Dying

by Odin odin@aflx.com — Read all 3,869 poems by Odin odin@aflx.com

Ever think about the permanency of romance as part of life’s guarantee?

Romance Knows Not Dying

Focus may change,
Objects of interest may change,
But seeing that which is forever amorous
Need not be a person,
Animal,
Or
Lost love.

Consider…

Love will not be confined,
Won’t be focused only on a person,
Will consider all that is worthy of love.

To which…

Stay vigilant,
Alert,
Focused,
Sensitive.

For when…

That which we are taught as romance fades
Or disappears,
Remember a mother’s caress,
A father’s pat on the back,
A mysterious nurturing,
Maturing,
Realizing,
Applied,
Will.

How liberating…

To discover caprice as a natural part of us,
Where emotional shadows
Fade as enigma,
Becoming real,
Where new loving thoughts might have never been considered before
Become passion’s epiphany,
Realizing courtship of another kind,
A channel to unrealized compassionate connection,
The pursuit of ethereal magic
Rising,
Lifting hope,
Resurrecting trust,
Becoming part of life’s grand romance
That knows not of dying,
Only of protecting the broad purpose of Eros.

Love,
Hope,
Confidence.

Consider…

Hummingbirds
Exercise romance
As they gently hover their considerate love
Over their drinking and protection of
Nature’s needs.

For humankind to allow romance to exist as an all-in focus
Is to allow rapture’s tears of joy.

Romance Knows Not Dying

 

Focus may change,

Objects of interest may change,

But seeing that which is forever amorous

Need not be a person,

Animal,

Or

Lost love.

 

Consider…

 

Love will not be confined,

Won’t be focused only on a person,

Will consider all that is worthy of love.

 

To which…

 

Stay vigilant,

Alert,

Focused,

Sensitive.

 

For when…

 

That which we are taught as romance fades

Or disappears,

Remember a mother’s caress,

A father’s pat on the back,

A mysterious nurturing,

Maturing,

Realizing,

Applied,

Will.

 

How liberating…

 

To discover caprice as a natural part of us,

Where emotional shadows

Fade as enigma,

Becoming real,

Where new loving thoughts might have never been considered before

Become passion’s epiphany,

Realizing courtship of another kind,

A channel to unrealized compassionate connection,

The pursuit of ethereal magic

Rising,

Lifting hope,

Resurrecting trust,

Becoming part of life’s grand romance

That knows not of dying,

Only of protecting the broad purpose of Eros.

 

Love,

Hope,

Confidence.

 

Consider…

 

Hummingbirds

Exercise romance

As they gently hover their considerate love

Over their drinking and protection of

Nature’s needs.

 

For humankind to allow romance to exist as an all-in focus

Is to allow rapture’s tears of joy.

Yesterday, while on the phone with an old friend that I get in touch with once a year or so, he told me that he considered me one of his "best" friends ever. In recent years, several people,, some I've met, and some I have not, mostly authors like you, have told me that I was their "best" friend.

That is a kind of love that comes through when you willing to listen to others, work with them and share ideas. Brotherly and sisterly love. Like the hummingbird, as I eat my lunch of vegetables, if I just stop and notice, I find romance in savoring fresh carrots, celery and radishes. Or even the 10 minutes or so that I get out in the sun every day when it's a sunny day. You might call that romancing with vitamin D. A bit hard on the eyes and the skin if you stay out too long.
