One of my favorite works of poetry are Pablo Neruda's Book Of Questions. They suit an innate quirkiness of my inner spirit and outlook. They share a similar sense of the absurd as my own and an imagery I would kill to be able to achieve as effortlessly. So I like a question format occasionally.
This of course is not the quirkiness of Pablo Nerudo..nor the rich spare imagery, but it does relate the questions that arise when infatuation creates an upheaval in our daily life patterns...outwardly uncomfortable..but is it? Or is it a gift of something so much better as our lives take on a never imagined new patterns and flavors of delight.
Infatuation's Questions
Did my life end
or begin again
with you?
Are you a distraction
or god's generous gift
of delight?
Are we wasting life
or finding life's purpose
at last?
will you love me
and I adore you
for life?
Will we end betrayed
or share our lives
in lust and laughter?
