Ultimate love, for Mike's challenge
There is no ultimacy in love,
and that's what's ultimate in love.
The ultimacy is strived for and worked hard for,
you can climb whatever mountain for it,
but you'll never reach the top of that one,
since that Venus mountain was created
to remain forever the most sacred and unreachable of mountains,
like the fabled Monte Veritá with secret monasteries and sisterhoods,
which you ultimately can get into any touch or understanding with
by only dying for it. Better then to go on climbing,
striving, working hard and longing
for the ultimate evasive ultimacy
that will go on attracting you and tempting you,
provoking you and prompting you
to any feat of heroism, impossibility and miracle
except to reach the ultimate fulfilment
of that love of yours that once was given you
for the ultimate challenge of your life.
