essays in finite fragments of love

essays in finite fragments of love

 

 

into the segue of circumstance

a heart encounters

contradictions that belie

the truths of transition

 

endings become beginnings

and beginnings disappear 

into shadowed infinity

 

conclusions rupture

with tenuous implosion

as the theme of trust

loses sight of its thesis.

Pace TS Eliot - trouble with infinity add one and there is still room. So hold onto being an existentialist.

Apparently, the infinite whole (or hole) takes over.
All of us, at some time, lose focus; you're one of those rare poets who can actually record the physics of that loss.
In other words, Jacob, you have given this reader a genuine Eureka Moment!

thank you for your kind words, Jimmy.

Time is in charge of it all and we need to remember that so we can enjoy every second we are given with a person who means a lot to us. But then that last stanza....the theme of trust....hmmm...that threw me off. Does trust have an expiration date? Something to think about. Jacob, your poetry always includes wonderful metaphors and is thought provoking. Lydi**

[jacob erin-cilberto]

not really an expiration date, but we lose sight of doing that, trusting thing...because doubts take over our essay.
thank you, Lydi.

It speaks to me of moving on and letting go. Something that some of us do more frequently than others because we haven't found a permanent resting place, or person, yet.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

so true, Ana. so true...thank you for your words...

Love is definitely meted out in finite fragments. As is life. Sadly ( or maybe not really ) we never know how much our allotment is or how long it will last. Making the most of each, is all we can do. Nicely scribed, Jacob.
