Love in Hexasyllables X: Subject: Love
The alchemy of love
Is the transmutation
Of a golden passion
To a tarnished silver
Obligation, while still
Retaining its value.
The calculus of love
Is where two become one
Flesh: through integration,
Not merely addition,
Nor subtraction of one
Person's identity.
The history of love
Is the converging of
Two tales repeatedly
Till only one exists,
Telling of a future
Unfolding together.
The linguistics of love
Is when the tongue slips from
The singular pronoun
To the plural, so that
You scarcely notice it,
And when you do, care not.
