Love is a beautiful but strange thing

It’s like being hit by a sniper
You never saw it, nor heard it coming
But when it hits you it hits you hard

Love is like a flower
Beautiful when it blossoms
But the next thing you know it’s withered

Love should be like a cactus
Nice to look at
Sometimes weird
Lasts forever
Fun if you get stung
And low maintenance

She’s the light

I am down - deep down
In a dark, damp and cold place
My cold heart even colder
Super frozen
Not a glimpse of light
No way out
But when she is around
Her smile
Lights the Billboards up
It’s like being in Times Square
Her eyes
Are like the ocean
Like being on a sunny beach
When I see her
I am defrosted in hyper-speed
My mind blossoms
Like an explosion of spring
Never seen her in this light
But when the darkness came
The spotlight went on
There is no other way but to like her
But there’s also the story of my life:
I am always longing for what I can’t have

Maybe one day
