Love Quadrangle

Love is a point
an answer to a question
we didn't want to ask
but found leaving our lips
like do you
or could you
and what if I do
because the question
implies we don't know
and admitting ignorance
isn't something we can train for
it's something we evolve

Love is a line
an eventual horizon
we learn to stop pursuing
and start appreciating
for it's capability to conform
to the mountains we meet
and the valleys we walk
for it's willingness to bend
around impossible corners
and cross incalculable divides
only to reassure us
that it cannot be broken

Love is a quadrangle
a courtyard where we dance
to the music of the spheres
our imperfect motion
a tribute to imperfect dimensions
that we move through together
because by ourselves
we are merely points
answers that must be strung together
to create lines
horizons that need perspective
for love to take shape
