Just A Chemical

by Maher   Dec 10, 2014


Context is contextual to the myriad of madness in the mind of a wanderer
while his image is held high in the enigmatic eyes of his beholder.

They meet, and the silent dance of pheromones balls nearly serene
between the space of two lovers, betwixt their eyes, in this scene.

Unintentional outward emotions bar the innate ability to resist
the urges that urge them to pursue the urge to allow such desires to persist.

Pores pour perspiration as elation elevates in their love's location.
Folly follows fluently, fulfilling a fantasy fuelled by temptation.

Suspicion will overtake wild fire via the vile, venturous tongues of friends of kin.
Rumours will run viral - not public, yet known - to inform the circle of this heinous sin.

Then love will fall out of love with the hearts of what are now spectacles
and shrivel away to it's base - just a catalytic chemical.

    To be honest I laughed at the first line of poetry. It's a good poem, has great meaning and defines love in a nice way. I like how the words you chose mingle and twine because of the similar phonics. It creates a nice inner music to the poem. However, your use of big words I think has gone overboard to the point that it's a bit difficult to understand. Still, I like your analysis of love in a society which does not approve of these relationships.

    Overall though, great job... keep it up!

      Thanks for reading it. I guess I did go a little overboard with the big words but I did it to kind of show how complicated love is to the person telling the story. I'll try to keep writing :)

    Skeptical of love, that is okay. Pheramones involve lust, love is not logical but it is not how most percieve it either. Love is not something physical although that it is often mistaken as such. I read a book once about understanding love. They did a study once where they took baby monkeys away from their mothers and gave them a choice, food or a robot simulating their mothers that granted them affection. They would always choose to starve, all the way to the point of death. Love is something we can avoid and that looks dumb from afar but is something we cannot survive long without. Even more than food.

      Haha that's actually pretty interesting that they'd experiment to prove/disprove love. I'm definitely not skeptical though. I wrote that more from the point of view of some friends I have who hook up for fun and forget about it after a short time. They're only in it for the lust. I'm actually very much in love and she's the reason behind a lot of what I write :)
