The Dogma of Love

Love is like a flower.

It blooms in the spring of its existence.

But as the summer fades, so does its color.

The winter moon watches over the barren stem

Until the sun can shine upon the blossom once again.

I agree... sometimes love is seasonal! (for me) once the love gets dry, couples should do something to bloom again the flower, do the first move to make the love on fire again@! beautiful! ---Elai
