A Valentine’s gift for
longtime lovers
Heart
and mind, they say,
the
regions where love must flourish,
so
often at odds, the weighty intellect
no
match for the runaway passion or
the
surfeit of sentiment.
Have
we not, my love,
brought
them together?
We
could never recall
the
day it dawned on us
that
we were inseparable,
when
infatuation and curiosity
knuckled
under to the sterner stuff
of
which we were made.
And
would we want to,
with
so many present moments
bursting
before us
like
new quasars?
Perhaps
love’s inception
was
the refusal of our
thoughts
and emotions to live
in
dichotomy with each other.
We
have forced them to conspire,
to
plot, to play and pretend,
even
to scuffle.
They
have laid traps for each other,
as
they are wont to do, but now,
decades
along our journey together
we
have outsmarted the wiliest
of
their contrivances.
It
is now enough that they coexist in the
symbiotic
comfort of our affections.
We
have nothing more to prove to each other,
only
the bounty of head and heart to nourish
our
un-forsake-able nest.
Here’s
loving you this way forever –
head,
heart, body and soul, the supreme
coalescence!
