Infinity Loop

By Danny Villarreal

 

 

 

     We are magical beings

     Truly a wonder of existence

     There is nothing to explain

     Our need for emotional subsistence

 

     So I reached

     I strove

     I loved

     I found everything

     And nothing

     I am not

 

     I was raised catholic

     But anyone can see that

     All religions tell

     A similar story a metaphor

     Of life of love

     Of our illusions

 

     It’s a wonderful way of

     Organizing the world

     Understanding the universe

     Finding what people call god

 

     I might be a hopeless romantic --

     But I believe in true love

     I still do in my heart

     Love can’t be rationalized

     Or forced

 

     I wanted something so natural

     It seemed unreal

     Something so real

     It seemed unnatural

 

     Love without need of words

     Love without bounds

     Like two become one

     Each canceling out the other

     Like the infinity loop

     Utter completeness

     And contentedness

     Yes
