As Titanium Poem by Doris Cornago

As Titanium



Inseparable creatures tied with a cord
Flexible like silken steel, as titanium
Extending over oceans, filaments
Enclosing in a vacuum, sealed
Growing over time, congeal
In frozen silence, flowing
Like droplets of tears
Distilled in patience
Crystalline pure
Overhanging
Stalactites
Unicorns
Immaculate
Hearts lifted up
In kindred kindness
Sublimation of emotion
Untouched by excesses of
Human lusts, silly sauna baths
Snowstorms, cast off in avalanche
Withstanding rumors, humors, vapors
Different flavors, multicolored vari-forms
Love is prison, love is free, obscure boundary

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
If I ask you what is love, you will give me a definition out of your own experience. The greater the experience of what love is - the height, width, volume of it - the more detailed will be the description. So saying, those who has not truly experienced what love is should not presume to have a full knowledge what it entails and should never judge the value of the experience between two people.

Yes. God is love. But he is in each one of us. That's the simplification and complication of it. How can anything that feels right be so wrong? A rhetoric question which takes us back to base One - he is a jealous God.: -)

Love is a connection to who you are and what more you can be and if you step into this path of self-discovery, there are no guarantees that you won't get hurt. From what I know of such relationships, there is no boundary of what should be, what cannot be - and the moment you get into expectations, there lies the rub, love cannot be ordered from pharmacy. It's inexact, no one size fits all, and it truly boggles the mind.
