Imminent love psychosis



There is no love without psychosis
of the most enjoyable and enviable kind,
but to enjoy it you must keep it steady and control it
like a humanist and pilot staying clear in dire straits
to at all be able to let love go on.
It is the sharpest and most difficult of balances:
the line is thin and slack, and you just have to dance across it
meeting even uphills and adversities on this laborious course
of high-strung sensitivity and the frailest delicacy
threatening to crash down into darkest abyss any moment.
Just beware of getting too mixed up and filled up with yourself,
and you'll be safe in loving anyone except yourself.

An interesting theory on loves staying power Christian, the final lines did not seem to fit so well, what do you think to, 'or you'll be safe in loving anyone except you.' it was just a thought that ran as I read the line. Good read though. Psychosis, is a modern day phenomena I believe. But the love job has gone on forever and a day. Thanks for sharing, Tai
