Afreakkana in Poetry & Free Verse

What a tricky thing, love is.

Many find themselves in a love triangle

Mine takes the form of a square

When the Sun rises and shines

So does my beauty

It adorns the earth and

My stunning yellow petals, ahh

They are celebrated

Water loves the earth

The earth loves me

I love the Sun

The Sun loves water

With the latter

It's more the agape kind of love

The one my heart yearns for

Gives me a type of love that burns my soul

Burns me out and dries me to death

The one my heart yearns for

Can only so touch me with his rays

If you look closely we almost look alike

If you look closely we almost look one

Even if you prayed closer to heaven

Him and I could never be together

With my roots shackled to the earth

He pays the price of seeing me

Sleep, turn beautiful and die

But, what a pretty sight for me

An eyesore, I tell you

Even when I perish

His beauty sends me off lavishly

Man, what a tricky thing, love is.
