A Failsafe Love

Swiftly lifted off the ground
to a separate world
a world with different seasons
Seasons that never seem to change
warmth that never freezes
liquid that never solidifies
a failsafe love…

The birds and the bees
and the butterflies
the sun and the rain
and the sky
they all become one
in an everlasting standstill
upon the world
above the stars
below the sparkling sea
all within reach
all so distant
in a failsafe love…

Until it happens
when things begin to fail
when things begin to fail
in a fail safe world
when the light is cast off
once more darkness surrounds
once more the air becomes cold,
and the seasons continue to change…

Here, seasons are meant to change
challenges are meant to be faced
yet the imperfect perfection
is harmonic
emitting a half-golden glow
and revealing an alternate truth
The truth that balance--
whether desirable or not
is what makes a purity count
The truth that you cannot�"
have good without the bad
or neither would be known…

I am in love with this!

I love how the beginning stanzas are fantasy like; then the slow progression of reality in the following stanzas.

Beautiful.

[Aimee Mahathy]

This is amazing!
I love the growth of things between the stanzas. First the beauty and the perfection, then the crumbling of things, and then the revelations of how it's truth.
Wonderful!

[Felicity Winter]

What a wonderful poem.

beautiful truth... well done

[Sara Mercury]

I agree with this poem. But if I were the creator of the world, I would make it so that life was a roller-coaster ride, with its ups, downs, curves, turmoil and strife, and love would be the safe haven from it all. Then there would be the balance; part of our existence being bad, and the other good, instead of it all being BAD all the time. Just rambling, really. Great poem!

[Brianna Brie]

This poem offers sadness, but with much strength and wisdom. Written well!

[JelliFyshKissUs]

What an abstract observation. The last stanza pours vivid truths--"imperfect perfection", "harmonic", "half-golden glow", "alternate truth"--breathtaking image, surreal thought. I am only disappointed in myself for not getting back to your work quickly enough.

[Senseless whatever]

Great write. Very philosophical and a load of deep meanings to stir the reader for days after reading.
