onto something

all these years you and I
patiently waited
for our senses
to grow sharper [1]
and ecstatically experience
each other

remember that boy
that demystified
love
as an infatuation
living in the dimensions
of neurochemical reactions

what happens
when these violent molecules
cease to shiver
and the chemical storm
subsides as dust
almost unnoticed

because these are the facts
we can’t ignore…

but as aware as I’m
about facts
scientific knowledge
engineered lifestyles
and that quiet desperation
the generation of our parents
designed for us to consume us

I took the choice
to be onto something
else
not there in the cold facts
but poetic facts we put
in place of material explanations

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart) [2]
is a vision
that transcends
into the animated pictures
of old couples
holding hands

and that funny feeling
when we look at those
with questions
and adoration
we can’t formulate
yet
