Light touches and fervent kisses
Secret smiles and sunshine sweetness
The scene is painted, the sunset detailed
The pools in your eyes within emotions sailed

-------------------------------------------------

Gelid snow reduces fires to wisps
Harsh winds dragging the lingering smoke
Ashes buried, greying the tips
Hands clutch at what was, nothing to hold…

Love is but momentary obsession
Physical lust, temporary distraction
Weakening resolves, eating us whole
Turning favours, driving holes

Words, actions, movies on screen
Are fantasized lies, from what we’ve seen
Heartbreak is just a step away
Divorce rates inflating, we have no say

It’s hiding behind the façade of familiarity
A chemical reaction in you and me
We twist our desires to accommodate ourselves
Blinding us by forcing sight through veils

Promises made are unfeeling words
Thrown carelessly without effort
The naïve believe, they take it to heart
Weeping inconsolably when it blew them apart.

Love isn’t as great as you perceive
A filter, separating through sieve
Love cannot conquer all
It’ll be too late when you fall…

Author's comment:
The reason why the first stanza was seperated from the others was that the first stanza just pints us a picture of 'love'--the picture we dream about.

Okay, the second stanza, the 'fire' is obviously pointing to love. Basically, it means, that love is nothing, it can be gone easily, and everything can be smoothed back until there's no sign that it ever has been there...

Last stanza, the line about the sieve. I'm trying to imply that love is like a filter, only allowing wanted emotions in. It blinds us to the faults of the other party.

It's up to you how you interpret this, it'll be fairly interesting. Do comment.
