PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Good love shouldn't be measured by its frequency

or even by its attempts, successful or otherwise

It shouldn't be approached by an

all-encompassing set of redeemable qualities

ready at one's whim

like some..

amorous tool shed

on a beleaguered set of belt loops

Sure, these traits are applicable

(and downright handy on occasion)

but love doesn't require every gadget

it just requires the right talent, effort, and timing

for the right person

My advice to you

is learn to cultivate

then hone

the beautiful premises of idealized love

and apply those visions like a contact lens

bridging and fortifying any synapse gap

blurring

(pun intended)

the lines between imagination

                                                      and human interaction

Work hard to remove the excesses of your discontent

and treat self-awareness as a muse

to sculpt the greatest puzzle piece 

while seeking all other puzzle-makers

to improve

to match

to unify as something familiar and well-glued

The highest form of love -

the kind worth giving and receiving -

is wholly unique, rich, and fulfilling

and one mug of that wonder elixir

supercedes ten gallons of the store-brand liquid drivel

I believe

the quota you're allotted in a given lifetime

of the pure, unmitigated, ignited bliss

consuming our hearts, eyes, and tongues on the daily

should not become measured by the norms we didn't generate

or from opinions of those who haven't put in the time

to pass the master class of yore

Your love should be measured solely by a covalent bond

of a shared, uncanny complexity

and the resulting everglow

transcending your abstract

and finite realities

that's when power and potential collide

...that's the stuff worth believing in

...and those are the people worth believing in
