You know, if love were to bind us,
would we be desirous of it?
Yet does it set us free(?)
if we were haplessly flung apart as we are
to arrive at different points of time and space?
Would our love grow resolutely stronger
to retain itself in its original entirety, then?
Or would it weakly dissipate
even from the hallways of memory?
I think we have fashioned it like a lounge
in a multidimensional structure, shape and form
So, we find we can live in it, without defining it in a presence
And we can still reside in it, together, in an absence
Like mountain ranges on different continents
with distinctly the same earth and soil… and bedrocks of us!
I do not question the stonewall between us
or the bête noires and Quasimodos who live to divest
love from its sepulcher for their own sustenance and lease
So that if we found time and space together, we would
only be fated to be misfortuned Romeos and Juliets;
But we, instead, be binaries encircling each other, but oblivious to everybody else
Love replaces a dichotomy of itself by finding its metaphysical niche
and in revolutions of metempsychosis; making its life and breath possible, even when avuncular
For I am certain that love is unrestrained in a Universe
that arose from its source
And still bears such unique reminders and fragrances of it
even in its diversities and distances!
