Logistics of Love

Experimental.

The outlines of the sky curled into a smile, 

the wind strummed along with the February sun. 

Couples drew nearer to each other, 

while love was busy adding up logistics 

and dividing equations which made no sense...

equal halves, better halves, soul mates and 

(in)significant others, all mashed together in one;

wiping off sweat from its brows, 

love smirked.

The cynicism in this has jagged edges, nay steel jaws I'd say. The opening stanza sets a calm scene as you draw the reader in to the character assassination of love itself!

[BlackPrince]

I love your perspective here, showing love busy at work to make relationships function.

[andrew mitchell]

Another brilliant write Doc...cobsmacked!

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Cobsmacked? That made me laugh! :P thanks so much for reading and appreciating, Andrew :))

[Robert Trakofler]

Ha HA this made me laugh:) I rarely taunt love cause she is a calamitous comic but i love her so.... despite my best intentions

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Thank you so much for reading. I thought I'd go for a different perspective on Valentine's day lool glad it made you laugh :))

Seems love needs an abacus so as to count its blessings. You write with a mind full of logic and eyes that see further than, ' .. equations which made no sense .. '

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Thank you so much for reading. :)

[jacob erin-cilberto]

there are many things that depict, describe, assimilate love...
equations aren't one of them...love is richer than that...it is not science or math...
and i love the last two lines...yes, "love smirked"---

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Thank you so much for appreciating, Jacob. Glad you like it. :-)

[Relic]

Maybe love knows that summer is a better bet for those attempting a seat in the tunnel of love. :)

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Perhaps that is the case, yeah ;)
Thanks so much for your words here, Tim. Appreciated.
