Either I am watching too much PBS or reading too many Argy limrick posts because something has surely gone wrong here!

Love Is No Lie (Medulla knows)

Synopses fire in medulla brain
forming pathways like cuts from rain
deep gutters for your face
your eyes, your special ways,
reminds me of you again and again.

Beating heart and sweating skin
tiny changes going on within
tell my mind there's something here
to love or hate or simply fear
the question is, which one will win?

Love is no lie and this I know
for in the brain the neurons show
a great desire is burning there
to find connections and to care
for something other than my own ego.

Nanzar's been possessed by the limerick demon, and all the Ficters are starting to self reference eachother.

*runs screaming from the thread*

AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!

By the way, I liked this bit:

Love is no lie and this I know
for in the brain the neurons show
a great desire is burning there
to find connections and to care
for something other than my own ego

Demonstrates that unselfish love you are always talking about, Nanz.

So, it seems, love is NOT a lie?

an eternal, internal conflict--you capture it perfectly.

i am a bit worried about you though, with your late-sudden-onset limerick disorder. hope your case isn't as bad as some of ours...

Nanzar,

*sheepish grin* With ever my late tendencies, I am finally here. I just gotta say though that when I first read this when you first put it up, it was something that really touched me...something I needed to hear at that exact moment, I think. What's the word I'm looking for...perspective! There we go. It put things in perspective for me, and it just...yeah, I dunno how to explain, just know that it really got me in the heart. So I really do thank you for posting it and for letting Argy's ways get ahold of you! Hehe.

I gotta say my fave stanza was this one:

"Love is no lie and this I know
for in the brain the neurons show
a great desire is burning there
to find connections and to care
for something other than my own ego."

I loved that...almost that "proof" of love, you know what I mean? In the brain, in the heart, in your body...the way each part responds to love -- the way that love gets things within you to come alive that you never thought were there before. Those little things, those little signs within you is a constant reminder of the love between you two...the desire that's burning there.

Wonderful poem, Nanzar, and I wanted to be sure that I let you know I thought so.
