Love Is...

love is a mongrel mutt
that strips the meat from the bone
a rainy monsoon season that
leaves your garden unsown

love is a bastard child
a scandal of reputation defamed
born in a moment of lust,
an embarrassment unclaimed

Love is that bittersweet feeling
that empty cavernous ache
that fills your entire being
with memories of a fatal mistake

Oh wow....

It is the RAW TRUTH!

We use to say and think nice things about love.... but this the truth that's experienced by the majority. I wish I could write something like this, too.
