just the way it is ( for J.T. )

[saw]

it is seldom expedient
measuring the degree of chaos
in a closed system of romance flown,

.....between two willing participants
when the theories that got them there
run amok .....but I do know

that as the love-energy diminishes
thermodynamics move in to record
how much remaining emotion is still available

for new exploration and discovery,
it's no one's fault things don't last forever,
it's the natural order of the universe

we are born, we develop, we flourish
we decline, we die......we bask
in the brilliance of our imaginations

for as long as our stars still heat up the night

[Steve Plonk]

Saw, looks like a thermodynamic poem to me. The coals still burn...

[whoaisme]

aww yea!

"it's no one's fault things don't last forever"

love that!

as long as our stars heat up the night?

boom!

YOU GOT THE JUICE NOW SAW! Keep writing hard!

[justwalt]

and in that space of being,
to find oneself alive and aware...

This is so beautiful.
