Love & H2O

 

 

 

 

Love resembles H2O,

As its patient ebb and flow,

Smooths a jagged heart of stone.

Inner beauty thus is shown.

 

Inner beauty, in its turn

Incites passion's sultry burn

Love and lust commingled, rise

Vapor forms before our eyes

 

Vapor raptured, unaware

The onset of Arctic air

Erose edges once more form

From thick ice of wintry storm

 

Ice-packed heart is numbed to pain

'Til warm waters stream again

When embraced by H2O

Beware of the undertow

Reviews

[Fabian G. Franklin]

This was wonderful and witty, I love it! It has a hint of humor mixed in with the seriousness of the subject. I always have great admiration for that. It reminds of life because some great wit once said God is the greatest comedian of all playing to an audience who are afraid to laugh. I do hope that poor heart thaws out again! Who knows? Maybe it will be warm enough to break the ice! lol

[John Anderson]

It's lovely.

Amazed by the skillful use of scientific symbol for water

[Dr. Wood ?]

I live by the sea...I LOVE the sea...the sea loves me....it has all become clear....This was a great analogy and one that I have never thought of...Terrific poem..I envy you your talent, I can only really do stuff for kids and this would be beyond me...

Did you ever read the material safety data sheet (MSDS) for water? It;s an acid, a base, a corrosive, a strong solvent, and has several different ways it can conceivably kill you. Yet, without it, we die; and it is the universal symbol for emotion and change in our dreams. Love's kind of like that, isn't it?

Every heart of stone may be heated ... beautiful work

[Alicante lullaby]

Beautiful, simply beautiful. The flow, the imagery, the masterful language, it's all just beautiful. A wonderful write!
