Star-crossed Lovers
"All moths are in love with the moon," the old man told the child, "but the moon is a long way away. Too far for a moth to fly. Every night the moths come out and see the moon. They beat their wings harder and harder. Trying to fly higher and higher. So deep is their love for the moon, they do not stop trying. Until the effort is too much for their little hearts, and the moths fall to the ground, dead." "So it was for Miguel and Josefina....." Break our hearts with a tragic love story / the rest we leave up to you

Love Is

You

Hardly ever see it coming

It sneaks up on you

Like aging

Or...

Maybe... Mondays

It rocks you like a realization

Like a monumentous

Aha moment

Your eyes open

Your heart stops

Skips a beat that last

eternity In a moment

Encompassing You

Cellular recognition

Soul recognition

Embedded

Burned

on your brain and heart

Like an odd

Brand

Not some tattoo

A parlor can

Eventually remove

It scars deeply

Delights

Wounds

Bemusing your Imagination

With intrieging

Joyous Pain

Love Is
