A Rich Substance

A Rich Substance

A Poem by BL

Something beautiful happens
When life overflows
Like the chance meeting
Of duelling banjos

You play the guitar
Much better than me
On your lonely nights
While I ran free

Then love finally turns up
Unsteady on the nerves
A flowing rich substance
More than anyone deserves

"more then anyone deserves"
the illusive illusion of the mythical orgasm
"when life overflows'
in its prime directive:
eat-survive-reproduce.
music is the food of love.
love is mother nature's trick
to get us to make babies.

Love is that rich substance that you found....especially when you meet someone unexpectedly . You never know what will happen. I like the dueling banjos as symbol of entwining together at last.
Well done.
Best, B

There's some hopefulness to this. Life is a gift no one really deserves, it's kind of what makes it so precious.
