Can You Truly Fall Out of Love? — Luka Korba #23

Sauntering Coffee Dates

Beneath her great army of stars,
we sauntered in endless loops;
Infinity circles.

Cloaked by the warmth of her forbidden embers,
I witnessed endorphins
foaming my cup of coffee;
A poetic concoction.

The rogue hues of her love
hidden in plain sight
truly does make me ponder.

“How does one truly fall out of love?”

Celestial Observations

She was my favorite
and she knew it,
except I never wrote,
uttered, whispered or proclaimed
those words -
I thought them though.

This was just one
of her many
celestial observations.

What seemed like
arid encounters
unraveling the gravitational pull
of our universe
were simply invitations
aboard a Titanic
that never sank;
A perfect love story
deprived of unspoken desires.

Lust’s Serenity

We never seem to see
past lust’s serenity;
Infatuated with unspoken desires,
we start fires
on the sea of possibility.

Eternally immersed
in her lushly poetry,
I see no other
on the horizon.

Perpetuated signals of confusion
fuel these fires,
and the embers of her lust
nullify the night sky.

I have dreams
where I shatter
into a million pieces.
The compromise is always
a subliminal thesis.
