Nature and the Heart
Like staring into the dark the more stars I see,
The more I try to forget you the more you appear to me
Like trying to put out a wild fire in the fury of the wind,
Trying to hide what is in my heart is useless in the end.
Like the waves in the sea during a raging storm,
I lost count of the thoughts of you that come in a swarm.
Like lungs in need of oxygen from the atmosphere,
My body longs for the presence of you here.
Like a volcano building ready to explode,
It’s hard to hold back this love overload.
Like a glacier floating so beautifully,
I keep most my feelings for you buried deep inside me.
Like a caterpillar stuck in a cocoon,
Our love will never be able to bloom.
Like nature has destruction and life,
The heart loves and cuts like a knife.
