Dangerous Love
What is love?
Trapped behind that locked door, the key is in a safe
a safe that mother dearly said could be reached with time
It makes minutes seem to stop, but where did the hours go?
It appears to have eloped with the plumose love
And yet…
What is love?
heavy as steel
its light weight holds you down
Dragging the ball-and-chain
Suffocating
Drowning
no escape,
a sweet restraint
an inhibition of action
Nothing being done, and yet so many things are finished
How selfish.
It demands a gentle grasp, allowing for free flight but holding you tight
What is love?
it promotes unrestrained action,
An impulse
When exactly did you let go of mother’s hand? Who are you?
But what exactly is it?
As mysterious as the striking mythical creature sitting lone
It breaks the Great wall of China that froze from harsh winter
Who said super human strength was unattainable?
Love, you say?
Love is a shape shifter
Call it mother
Call it father
How about your sister, your brother
your friends
your spouse
your Dreams
You
Love? You have just encountered a trap; a mere Catch-22, but I think you can break the impossible.
