A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto


Defining Love in Precisely Indistinct Elocution

 

 

specifically speaking

i generally love you,

 

in the vaguest terms

of absolute certain confusion.

While love is a contradiction, it also fulfills just about every one of our needs.
The only thing love won't do is make you smart--except, of course, in the painful sense.
Excellent bit of work!

How "Precisely Indistinct"! Jacob, again you are the WordMeister! I bow to you my friend. Love equals "absolute certain confusion" and you nailed it with this poem. Love it! Kudos!

Improperly flippant - but couldn't resist it!

Go see the principal!
I think love has a map, but it's plastered on the back of a cereal box. Wildly traversed in crayons, drowning in corn flake milk splatter.

I really enjoyed this Mr. J. Thanks for sharing.

Love is never definable...it is a glorious melange of blurry lines and fireworks. You've said so much in few words. Lydi**

lol
that word that often tangles us up in this torment
trying to find a place of clarity
but love is this confusion
and not only that
but adoring that motion sickness in thought

This is honest words and thoughts. With age, love become more questionable and dangerous. I liked the complete poem. Thank you Jacob for sharing the amazing poetry.
