Understanding Love

No one can wholly understand love

Love is never what one thinks it is

Love often comes as a snippy surprise

As a starry shock stemming from above.

 

Love is a hieroglyphic puzzle

Love has the power to muzzle

Shackle, overpower, direct and destroy

Love can be very volatile or hazardous toy.

 

As soon as one is somewhat comfortable

Love shows her ugly fangs on the table

Love is not always a beautiful spring.

 

Love behave like a cunning chameleon

Love behaves like an uncommon phenomenon

No one can completely comprehend this thing.

StrangelyShiny

Not often, I feel, is the darker side of love considered. The love of power, the love of materials, the love of dark ideals. Those loves lend themselves to dangerous decisions, grabs for power, lust leading the way. To understand love is to not just hold the light in your hands, but dig through the dark as well. Thank you for the reminder that love, though capable of shining many rainbows, is among the greyest of forces at its core.
