What's Love

What's love if not a thunder which burns you to the ground, 
a roar of bear nowhere, 
a taxi to the underground, 
to the underworld, 
a senseless sound which binds you, 
binds you to trust the other one. 
It is like a million rounds of bullets going through your chest 
or like a feather falling from a cliff. 
Oh, love - untrusted thing, 
show me the smile to make you mine. 
Ring the bell for my heart just now 
and the sound shall live forever. 
Speak to me of trees and bees 
speak to me of strength and choice. 
guide me on the way to Paradise,
place me in your garden of certainty,
and teach me how to arise,
take me to serenity...
Show me the smile to make you mine.
