Love Is Like Porcelain

Love is like porcelain
So perfect and smooth
Two sides giving
With so much to lose

Love is like building blocks
Lived day by day
Words can say
But only true hearts display

Love is like porcelain
When cracked can go wrong
Impurities take over
We never sing the same song

Love is like building blocks
By day they reside
If they crumble and fall
Then grows the divide

Love is like porcelain
It has to be lived
Fifty, fifty
Each has to give

Superb! Love the analogies, love the alternation between porcelain & building blocks. 'Love is like porcelain'...I can think of so many reasons why this so true. This is beautiful, well observed, and rich in wisdom. Definitely a fav ~ Sharon :)

Outstanding write, James. Enjoyed. Do you live in Edinburgh? My wife is from there. I was stationed at Kirknewton RAF from 1958 to 1961. Been back a few times to visit her family. All she has left now is her brother. He lives in Murreyfield. Ralph
