In Love and Love
Words�.
I used to think them
Interchangeable�.
Those that made a distinction
Were anal retentive creatures
Quibbling with trivial technicalities

I have since come to think
Otherwise�
They are vastly different lands
This In Love and Love

Shall I give you my supposes?
You can always toss them
On that heap over there
With all those other supposes
Of insipid poets and hack songwriters,
Philosophers and lonely lovers

In Love�.A sensual land
Of eye and ear
Touch and Feel
The mouth plays a predominant role
And the heart is known to quicken
At the oddest of times�.

The senses are alive
In a rarified air of soaring cliffs
And dramatic valleys
Alive with anticipation and dread
Longing and denial
The streets there are paved
With rumors and doubts
Hopes and dreams
The skies are neon blue�
With storm clouds just beyond

Sad to say,
Many fall from the soaring cliffs of In Love
And when they fall, I think
Its not necessarily due to a of lack of interest
But rather a lack of stamina.
The senses can only take so much you know�
Keep that excuse in your back pocket
And save it for a rainy day�..


Love�..
Located in Spirit
In the Region of Soul
That dark and murky place
Of Seen and Unseen�.
Where words
Like �because of� and �in spite of�
Take root
And wind their way around your heart
Choking all reason and common sense
Refusing to die,
Enduring�..
You can pluck them out,
These words, by their very intent,
But they will leave a scar
As you go howling in pain
Through the moonless night�
Illuminated only
By the hope of another day�

I once had a fictional
He and She�.
�She looked down into him
Right into his soul
And saw him for all that he was
And all that he was not
And loved him anyway.
And it was a mystery
To him as to why�
That is the story
Of the land of Love
-A dark and murky mystery
Of who and why

So there you have it dears
My supposes of Love and In Love
But of course you won�t listen
You must travel there yourselves
And make your own supposes
As they say�.
A wink is as good as a nod
To a blind horse�.
Love
