Love is alot of things......

I have revised this poem. I took out the two line stanzas at the beginning and end as I felt they just messed up the flow. I have added two more stanzas also. It is more complete now this way.

 

Love is a lot like a bottle of wine,

When it’s full everyone wants a drink,

When it’s empty everyone wants to sleep,

A glass of Love keeps the doctor away,

But too much and your ambitions suddenly drift away.

 

Love is very similar to sweets,

People will try and limit their consumption,

But even the biggest health nut has their vise that will cause a disruption,

Love can taste so delicious,

But an abundance can be very vicious.

 

Love parallels a bird of prey,

So beautiful and elegant as it soars through the air,

Everyone looks up and points, when of it, they are aware,

How without warning Love can swoop down and attack,

And you are helplessly oblivious until its talons latch on to your back.

Love coincides with Sushi,

Sometimes you just have to have blind faith and take a bite,

But if the Love isn't sanitized, you're insides wont feel right.

The taste can bring on Euphoria,

Or you can get harshly ill from the Salmonella.

 

Love mimics a house,

Everyone wants one once their life is set,

But you can’t get one if you’re not financially ready yet.

You have to make sure the Love you live in is right for you, because if it is wrong,

An earthquake could knock down what is not foundationally strong.

Love is a lot like Death,

To many, it is intimidating and down right scary,

The knowledge of the pain it can bring makes anyone weary.

But when the time has come, and true love you do find,

You know you no longer could live without it, this lifetime.

This is really beautiful, and I especially enjoyed the 'bird of prey' stanza. Great imagery and analogies, this piece is really well done.
