"Could You Be Loved"

exploding emotions, love..... who knew???

“Could You Be Loved”

It’s strange,

convoluted,

complex

how this works: Emotions, 

Love!

With its magical, yet real

overtones,

undertones; it’s

the hidden music

I find amazing in you.

~~~

I mean, one minute

rainbows float around me

with captivating colorfulness,

and passionate explosions.

In these demure seconds

I see and feel

hummingbirds 

making love to wild daffodils,

lilies and bluebells;

their wings, 

in a slow motion flutter,

distort time in such a way that,

the words you write,

appear as wave ripples.

Time’s tide, 

present since forever.

~~~

And I wonder,

cause the next,

nothing. 

Nada. Not a word. 

Empty space.

It’s like reality has become dark matter, 

been sucked into a black hole

and I am left

alone

with a universe

out of control.

Atoms zinging,

mesons dissipating

like they were never there.

And yet,

amidst this beating chaos,

I am aware

of the million, billion

pieces-

     bloody

            and cold

of my once warm heart!

Wow. One of your best. So close to love in the dismal of frustration. Bravo, sir.........

that is tough...been through this...extreme passion, longing, one moment, and in the next silence, pulling away...and the reason so unknown...we wonder what we did to extinguish that flame so quickly, that burned so hot moments before.

So many romantic interludes are like this, Curt.....a roller coaster of emotion and color. From dewy fresh colors to dismal darkness where nothing seems right and nothing seems the same....and surely nothing is “nice”. “Making love to wild daffodils” such a delicious line, my friend....your romantic side is still my favorite. Romance is your genre...never doubt that for a moment. Wonderful work. Lydi**
