Impossible Love

we fool ourselves
with romance novels
and fairy tales.

love,

desire to unite with love object,
to become one with it in mind, body, and spirit.
impossible ambition,

love.

never can you be certain,
of what another is
thinking or feeling.

we fool ourselves
with romance novels
and fairy tales.

impossible ambition, love.

never can you be
100 percent certain,
if words spoken, or facial expression

bear similarity to thoughts
in their head or emotions
in their heart

when you are hungry,
you eat and
the hunger is gone.

when you are thirsty
you drink and
the thirst is gone

when you are hurting
you take a pill
and the pain is gone

drives

seek their own annihilation.
if love achieved its end,
to make two one, it would dissipate.

we fool ourselves
with romance novels
and fairy tales.

love

can never be realized,
that
is it’s strength.
