Your Love is Like

This is a poem I wrote about how much (and how little) love can mean to a person at different times in a relationship. The analogies in the poem have to be interpreted carefully or else you'll miss the meaning.

 

 

You’re like honey to my fly
A fix for my high
A word to my song
You’re the right to my wrong

The pit to my pat
You’re my this for my that
Like lemonade to my heat
And new shoes on my feet

You’re the joy to my pain
The loss to my gain
I could dance to your tune
All night under the moon

You’re my up and my down
You give smiles to my frown
Your light shows me the way
When your night consumes my day

You’re the sporadic to my consistence
You complete me with your difference
Your love is everything and nothing to me

There is a lot of meaning in this poem and to me, the intended recipient is fortunate indeed. Thanks for sharing Yolanda. Love and blessings,

An interesting and lighthearted poem! I enjoyed it, but I find the last line rather confusing. But, you are the young to my old, which may explain my puzzling over it.

Yolanda,

You're right about the analogies. The last one really throws you off! Fantastic and imaginative write.

"You are my loss to my gain" and "that is nothing to me". Refreshing and simplistic. Thank You. Always be Well, Carin' Spirit

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
