The Weight of Love

The weight of love presses on the shoulders
And causes tentative steps,
the pawing of the ground, with toe, before you ask-
the weight of love pushes a gaze to the ground
and buries words
but perhaps the words aren’t needed
Love is such a simple thought pattern
It merely is-everything-two fold.
You are
And I will give
But what is everything, but mass
And mass a strange state
Of electricity and everything
Either on or off
Existing in things that don’t exist
And electricity a hum, a buzz, a pulse
Love is now a pulse
Your pulse
my pulse
A pulse increased by the very thing that weighs us down
The weight of a hand to a cheek
The gentle convergence
A trembling kiss
Fingers softly intertwined
A fleshy mosaic, a pattern
A shared burden of expression
Expression is the weight of love…

| this is truly beautiful - abstract moments contrasted with realism. 'expression is the weight of love' - a philosophical gem. hope to read more of your work, Kate x |

| I have to thank tease_whizz for a good review of a beautiful poem. I read it too quickly the first time through and failed to see the concrete images. Her insight made me read it again, more slowly and with imagination. The pictures here are so perceptively familiar, without being cliche, that they locate the more abstract description and allow it to bear meaning that is unrestricted but not inchoate. |
