Universal vanity
What's in a relationship when you remove all vanity,
what is there left at heart, what's in the core,
what is the centre of all love,
what do two people have in common
that results in tenderness, affection, co-dependence, and so on?
The problem is: you never find the core.
All you can do is to forget about all that which does not matter,
age considerations, practical and trivial circumstances,
all that is just in the way;
for souls can always find each other and stick to each other
without any banal means,
since their relationship is written in the stars,
and a relationship is always timeless.
Ask the spiritists who never lose their touch
with loved ones long since passed away
who are as much alive today as hundred years ago,
your love is always and invariably a matter of eternity,
once it is there it's there to stay
and go on living with you all your life and beyond,
and the stars confirm it: it's all written in the universe,
that there is nothing vainer than at all to bother
since we all are part of the eternal,
and the key and contact with it is our love.
