The balance and unbalance of love
Love is basically out of balance in itself,
which makes it so extremely difficult
to ever get it in control and balance,
if at all it ever could be possible.
The question is, if even it is worth
the effort and the vanity of trying.
On the other hand, when love is balanced
it is perfect, then it works, can be relied on
and can actually retain some continuity,
but it's a most precarious balance
on a razor's edge of nervousness
and worry, oversensitivity and constant risk,
that then it needs your whole attention
and can never be, like a good book,
relaxed from, put aside and laid at rest.
Love never sleeps,
and lovers are insomniacs all,
and if you want that game and pleasure,
be prepared to never sleep again.
