Love Unseen

I whisper my love

into curl

of translucent

conch shell,

twirling and whirling

like our love,

ankles embracing

the teal sea.

Conch beached

on powdered sands,

pink and foamy inside,

moist blushed lips,

love unseen but

hidden deep inside.

I listen to the warmth

and unearth

tenderness

of your echoing sea.

Funhouse Mirrors

Love is like

A funhouse mirror.

In we walk, willing witnesses

To the diverse distortions of dimension.

We enter to gaze at the reflections -different

Versions of ourselves grinning

or frowning back at us.

Shorter

Fatter

Taller

Thinner

Hourglass

Stretched to the ceiling.

We find one that shows us something

We never pictured for ourselves.

We pause.

And gaze.

The other us

Gazes back in the dim

Liminal light of the otherworld.

They say breaking a mirror

Is seven years of bad luck.

But breaking this one

Would shatter us.

The Music That Shaped You

Love is that album you saved up for in high school. It's the music you just had to have. When you finally had it in your hands, you were over the moon. You lay, eyes shut, heart and body churning, letting the sweet strains wash over you and not understanding why the whole world didn't agree that this was the best album of all time, and always would be.

You still have that old album, tucked away somewhere. The passage of decades has dulled its power. You still listen occasionally, but you no longer believe it was the best. You mostly remember how it made you feel, back in those heady days of breathless youth. It still has the power to move you occasionally, and it's something you'll continue to cherish. But you also mourn, knowing it will never be as overwhelmingly powerful as it was when you first possessed it.

The Unicorn

Often referred to as a "rare" being (much like the proverbial "love"), the unicorn is a facet of mythology.

However, that doesn't stop one from strapping a cone to a horse's head and declaring it such - or a ring to a finger.

Love

Is like a bowl

of pho

Such a small word

to inspire

such G R E A T

devotion

You can tailor it

to your taste

Each sauce

more pungent

than the

last

True believers partake

morning

noon

and

all night long

to the break of dawn

But alas!

15% of us

can never fully

appreciate it

So if you can't find

L

O

V

E

Blame it on

that damned

cilantro

Pessimistic Reality

Love

Is a lifeboat

Here to save

The drowning soul

Treading water

She lies exhausted

In this rescue vessel

Suddenly aware

Of its leaking

Sinking

Surface

Love is a double edged sword aimed towards you at all times, inching closer and closer to your vitals yet you bare your chest free and proud, willingly and stupidly.

Love is Coal

One of the biggest questions in the universe, "what is love?". The answer is very simple. Love is coal. When you first see him/her, it starts a fire, a fire that will continue to grow as you grow closer. It warms you up on rainy days, and gives you hope in the darkness. As you face issues together, the coal is put under pressure. As time goes on, your coal, is placed under more and more pressure. At some point in time your coal will face a choice, it will either break or become a diamond. If it chooses to become a diamond, the coal will grow stronger, the fire hotter. If it chooses to break, the fire will die.

Road Trip

Love is like driving to Florida

It's exciting in the begining.

Boring in the middle

Retired and old at the end.
