Perpetual Evanescence

PERPETUAL EVANESCENCE

The existential beauty of love

Fills their time and space

For no matter how fleeting it is

Empirical thoughts are grounded.

~

The ethereal beauty of their love

Filled the gaps where life can soar

For no matter it’s heavenly space

A celestial memory is imprinted.

~

The ephemeral beauty of their love

Knitted it’s way through their hearts

For no matter it’s transient moments

Traces were stamped in eternity.

This poem was written on the basis of using the word ephemeral ; meaning lasting for a very short time. But I found so many words in the dictionary that went so well with this word that I have an entire poem of interesting words.

I love to write poetry that at a glance seems just a poem but in quiet reflection can have so much more meaning. Knowing the definitions of words gives them more power. It also allows you to pair words together that contradict themselves for the sake of a love poem. Perpetual Evanescence. 🤫

We can’t hold onto love to save our lives right? But we felt it. It was there. We can’t touch it or see it, but we know it, we miss it- it’s intangible; oops, I threw in another word there!

A perpetual evanescence, never changing or leaving yet quickly fading from existence, an out of this world experience that left us grounded in circumstance. Who wouldn’t describe love this way?…

This was the short poem I wrote afterwards when my mind was still teeming with poetry lines. 👇

An evanescent love

Of fleeting moments

A transient word

Between life and death

Momentary feelings

Become fugitive space

Of an ephemeral home.
