204. Profundity
Why can't we have each other?
– And yet we have each other.
Destiny blocks our ways and seals us off
for her own purpose, it seems,
the mystery of our love,
that constantly is spurred on
and brought to darker depths
of infinite affection and intimacy
but without ever getting too close,
as if our love was more a water story
of unfathomable ocean depths
than of any fire that could burn.
Maybe it is better that way?
– Never to consume or be consumed,
but to be drowned instead
in the vastness of a sea that never ends
but only waxes all the time
in greater overwhelmingness of beauty.
