Love Is -

love is a biscuit –
spread with jam or dunked in tea
according to mood//

love is a hairnet
catches stray strands to hold them
gently, and softly//

love is a mirror
reflected affinity
in each other’s eyes//

love is a window;
look inside; you see your soul –
look out, see the world//

love is an apple
make apple pies or cider –
it’s your decision//

love is an orange;
squeeze out the last single drop
then make candied peel//

love’s a banana –
yellow outside, white inside
feisty yet tender//

love’s a bicycle
two wheels moving in tandem
like kindred spirits//

love’s a tangerine –
easy-peel, many segments
fragrant smell lingers//

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your love thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
