Reflective Empathy

Love can not truly thrive anywhere in a vacuum
Upon display on a shelf in a stationary Bell Jar
Sealed up, worshiped as a mausoleum, tomb
Continue yes, but not thrive chained, no going far

No Glass Menagerie, beautiful but brittle to inspection
Instead an eclectic compiling of thoughts, touch
Inspired affections, hearts looking forward in reflection
Passionate embraces, tender moments and such

Love needs to be aired out, uncorked. allowed to breathe
An unusual vintage of timeless clarity bottled, now poured
Into chalices overflowing, spilling but not a wasted weave
Washing over barriers, ever expanding to reach our adored

Love defies containment yet fills any given dimension totally
Unabashed adoration spans the Heavens and Constellations
Taken to the edge of reason and beyond what we can see
The Heart has a knack for doing the impossible in relations
