Aha! Another of your sweet little haiku that I have not read yet! Nice metaphor! ~ Regarding your last comment, enough is enough! I sure hope you don't expect me to kiss that slobbery heifer on the mouth! And that after I dutifully went out and hugged her just for you! But I suppose if I were to kiss her neck, that would be fine. I used to take her departed mama for walks and lean on her while I watched the sunset. I was sad when she got very sick a few years ago.

love is a pink rose, why pink? cause it's between red and white? white being pure but, could get easily dirty by dark hands. And red being rich and thick, something that looks like it could hold, but is the same color that comes out from broken flesh. The rose is a delicate flower, lovely to look at but hard to grasp, is that why we must look before we leap? sorry if I'm taking in too much :P
