down one moment
then soaring above
this is the feeling that passes for love
it's something that comes so close to madness
but it's not, it's warm and tender
joy, splendor, and breath
and without this air, condemned to death
yet, when in this non-sleeping death, infernal
that word, that love, immortal, eternal

Sounds as if people in love could be bi-polar, with these wide fluctuations in moods. But then, real love is more than that, something a but more even keeled than what is before.

I related to the ecstatic and manic feeling of being "in love". When one experiences this one realizes that before this feeling there was no life.
Yet, love is fleeting, which is the irony of it...earthly love, that is. The enigma is: that earthly love is both mortal and immortal because it also connects us to the Divine within us all.
You did a good job in getting this across in your poem...at least this is what I got out of reading your poem. That is what art is all about...leaving the interpretation open for others to explore, even though you are expressing your own subjective feelings. There is also a universal connection to all who read your poetry, as well as the reader's own projection into what is being expressed. I'm rambling.
I liked your poem very much! I found your poem through the "Poets Against Child Abuse". I left you a response for the "Disabled Child in Need of Help". Thank you for caring about children with disabilities. It is hard for them to speak for themselves. They need advocates like you and me. Have you ever thought of working with children with disabilities? You have the foundation of caring and compassion that it takes.
