Love And Death

Loves River Runs Soul Deep

Love And Death

Take a deep breath before you leap

Love and death are locked in an embrace

Fall off the cliff together happily ever after

Roll off the mountains memories

Hang on to sleep as it resembles death

Sink into love as something warm and cuddly

Buried in each other at the bottom of forever

Arm in arm to rise again

Resurrected on the last day as one lover

Sharp rocks and bliss can take you far

Stumble in the dark as strangers drunk

Fall with the night from up above in love

Watch that last step from the mountain

Land gently in the chamber bed

And in the morning another lover comes

Not the same but just as lost and dumb

Touched with the essence of raw charm

More handsome than the rest of death

With an air of mystery, a kiss, a misstep

Later on, under the bridge

Where noisy water falls

Crashing on to rocks to shape them smooth

Love and death walk enchanted hand in hand

Gather thoughts along the river mouth

Breath oxygen and pray life stays the same

Take fragility by the hand

The taste for living on will linger

Things don't last forever

Exhale when it is over

Pain and pleasure captured

In their spell of here and now

Draw from the river streams true thoughts

Drink the same poisons that are truth

Almost twins to the bitter end as friends

Love is so penetrating

Death is as stark

Both are such enigmas

Take a moment to appreciate

Love and death go too far

Under the covered water falls

[Einstein Noodle]

interesting to say the least ...an uncomfortable read for me ..i like love's beauty without the sting of death .. tho that is about as real as it gets, i suppose .. all living things do die sooner or later .. a very pragmatic take on things that most hold in lofty heavens :{

Hi E. I like your poetics here. Love is clearly more agreeable. Death is no fun at all. Thanks for commenting on my reflections on life. Love and Death are not exactly a marriage made in heaven. Have a great day. Earl
