Momma's Equation of Love



since love is a sweet nut
is love a sweet nut?
if love is a sweet nut
why does love sometimes 
turns a bitter sweet?
then love is the only nut
that bears in it 
sweet & bitter taste
so love is not just a lovely butterfly
Cos' momma said "love drains"
but is every too much 
love story a bitter ending?
then love needs be added 
an aroma of seasoning
then love without navigation
meets the iceberg (titanic)
but  love with wisdom
is like honeycomb to munch
momma said "love is a seedling that 
opens herself into many flavors 
depending on how 
she is nurtured"
