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.
