Why do we write about love?

by Crystal Theorem - Scorpio

where do the words come from?
this cosmically endless 
stream of consciousness about
the feelings of vain fantasy
and lust

do we understand
the four letter word?
it's meaning?
how can we know, if 
the meaning is obscured
and the world is too dark
for us too see.

we think the heart feels.
what the heart feels, we really think.
but only it rushes to collapse
on blurred visions of yes be,
maybe, won't be lovers
while we dream of yesterdays
that are perfect, in retrospect only.
we've not touched that sacred vessel
of our earthly desires.
never reached the holy grail
of LOVE

not in this world.
or the next?
therefore we write about what we don't know.

Reason for writing:

    okay, i have an idea that this may not be the best thing I've written in recent history.  but a whim's a whim, right?
