Life makes sense, and it doesn’t.

The universe doesn’t make sense and yet
it does.

Can you fall in love with something
that you can never  touch?

Like sounds on the other side of a hill,
or a western breeze that soothes your knees
and makes things soft, baby and blue,
float in shores of shimmering pools.

They say to fall in love with faraway
wouldn’t make any sense.

But then my love has never even made dollars,
let alone cents.

Common sense is knowing,
that there is no such thing.

Don’t be afraid of bitten mouth breaches
or ruptured rapture,
the hardened steel of perpetual intimacy
is forged with fires the lips can capture

What does it mean to be sensible anyway?

Sexy knickers never make any sense
to me either
unless they inspire me
to pull them off of you,
hungrily.

I am the guy running into the rain
while others seek shelter
from all of their
pain.

I got things to go and places to do
and they all will forever,
revolve around you.

The only way to make sense
out of this world
is to find someone who can hear
the same music in the wind
who will join you
in the dance.

The only thing about my heart
that is true
is that love will never
make any sense
unless I make it,
with you.

My guess is that all things that don't make sense are in the hands of God to take care of...then those things seem to make sense.

My husband fell in love with me 16 years ago when we first met though I was with his friend and wanted nothing to do with cheating or leaving. Little did I know I wasn't happy afterall. Spent the next 16 years lost, trying to make sense of it all.

Then I knew.

Beautiful ending to this poem of yours and I love it!

"Can you fall in love with something
that you can never  touch?"

Yes, and that something is Love itself.  Enjoyed your words as usual.

Love
Helen

Oh Helen, you just exposed my secret lover right now...

It doesn't surprise me that you would write that!

You're wonderful!
