acceptance

acceptance

 

after hello's handshake

then encircling arms

 

a sweet kiss as love causes 

our balance to evacuate

 

the fall is embraced

the pattern arbitrary

 

the lover imagined

the dream a perfect scale.

The wild ride of love. Sweetest days, when the love is new. When fade away. Always badly. Hello Jacob and thank you for sharing the amazing poetry and your thoughts.

Funny how we 'fall' in love, like how we 'fall' asleep.
Both total acts of surrender and giving up control.

I'm intrigued by the love that causes your balance to evacuate, love knocks us off our feet, is love causing balance to leave, feeling in danger and looking for safety?
The dream - a perfect safe-space in which to act out and enjoy the fall?

I'll definitely be reading this one again.
Thank you, this was very thought-provoking.
Laura.

I appreciate your read and words, Laura...yes, long ago this really happened....and I still can feel the balance losing equilibrium...

dreams are dreams, reality is something else, we can't expect perfection in reality, we must accept our loved ones as they are, and these little flaws in a person, or in love, or in relationships what give a teasing special taste to us, it's like we love these flaws, they keep igniting a flame inside us.

Yes, they surely do, lightsong...they surely do.

Well, I guess imagination is better than nothing. Dreams can do, too.

This closeness reminds me of normal living. It's so long since we had kissing and embracing will we all remember what to do? And if we do, I bet it's going to be a bit awkward at first:)

Any piece about being close and embracing is especially enticing these days, especially when it makes me laugh at loves awkwardness. You are always firing on all cylinders.
