Love, time, space, continuum
somehow add up to mean the same,
they’re words that ring inside my heart.
Paint not desire upon these lips,
You’re breath o’ soul, empyrean art.
Like poesy that trickles out mouth of odist,
come adorn o’ sizzle preserved opuscule.
I relish not lily nor savor I rose,
find light most winning of deep-set eyes.
Paint not affection upon these lips,
You’re fire o’ ice, unfeigned harp.
Like paean that soothes wavering throb,
come enlighten o’ apprise tentative step.
Love, time, space, continuum
somehow add up to mean the same,
they’re words that ring inside my heart.

The painted lip love is part of, but subsumed by the gift of Mystery.

Luv the “unfeigned harp”
As a girl guide (some cultures say girl scout) we sang a song which said ‘music alone shall live never to die’

These are 4 words I never thought of as being synonymous, but I suppose they are, at least the first 3, and then the 4th encompasses the others to make them synonymous.
