Love (Blue Burns Black)

 

The push and pull of reason and faith

Left alone to question innerspace

Quantify the ends to project the means

Whispering inflections behind the scenes

 

The open road, an ancient tale

A long lost dream of ancestral gale

Sent to wonder where it is birthed

Criss-cross time finding none of more worth

 

A warp of dimensional reality

One once-thought woven of speed

All signs point to finality

Willing to lose sight of the lead

 

The day is a soft and golden hue

Sweetness of candy corn in the air

Warmth is all that holds us true

As though we're not even there

 

Precious moments deeper than the last

A split-second emotion vying for a name

Of the world's sensations to be cast

Love survives to kill the pain

 

Read only what the stars align

The craft of love is undefined

Love the reason inside of you

And those who wish will see it too

 

A fitting gauge assures the chain

A link, a tie, a knot; inseparable

Faith hardly tries to explain

Love, however, is ineffable.
