Perihelion Love

Many would argue that Love is more easily burned out than preserved when passion loses its control. (Image by Odin AI)

Poem Artwork

 Perihelion Love

 

Such a circuitous pattern moves this

Ever-awake-consciousness.

How courageous this Yin and Yang

Teeters on its axis of stability.

 

What chances Love engages

As the long testing period

From infatuation to truth

Withstands all the obstacles floating about,

Save the one inevitable confrontation,

A collision course

With the sirocco-like tempest

Spiking emotion’s temperature.

 

About to come face to face…

 

Human nature’s innocence is often at fault,

Knowing not the long and arduous task

The partnership in love’s intent wish to fulfill.

 

Even with a determined outlier before them…

 

Two mortals discover their risks

Can beget everlasting love,

Aware now

It is there’s

To lose.

To comment, you forced me to look up a word I should have known. I guess it was an Icarus moment for me.

The longer a love lasts, it tends to become more permanent, tied by necessity resulting in more bonding through mutual practice, not always on the same plane.

At some point, it becomes permanent until one of the partners passes. How well the other survives the loss is dependent upon how well they both have built independent lives rather than totally dependent upon each other.

When both die, that love is burned out. But survivors will talk of it.

Ron
