Trilogy of Love

By Lenny Love, Jr.

PROMPT — What is Love?

the trilogy of love

my love is like

a Boy with a bunch of matches

my love is like

That stranger sitting In the Park

(lonely & self absorbed)

my love is like

a Bonfire seen From Far away

my love is like

milk with an expiration date

(Better drink Before its too late)

Can you suffocate someone with love ?

my love is like

a panda with a stick of bamboo

(possessive & attached)

my love is like

a pit-bull off the leash

my love is like

money Found in the street

it Feels sweet

my love is like

a woman shaped like a guitar

my love is like

the smell of New shoes

Or a New car

my love is like

a Fragile Flower,

better water daily

my love is like

a First time mother

& Her Baby

my love is like

your son waiting on the stoop

my love is like

the sun waiting on the moon
