They say
in their infinite wisdom
of convenient cliches
Love conquers all
Really?
Can love beat disease?
Make cancer cells dissolve
with a heartfelt hug?
How about cruelty?
Or crushing infidelity?
Does love possess
super hero qualities?
I wish it did
What a better
world this would be
But as often
seems to be the case
the truth often does not
cooperate with our dreams
For you see
Love can be a transient
joyful magical experience
A delicate flower
A beautiful ethereal
cotton candy treat
But not the concrete reality
of eternal permanency
we poetic dreamers
wish it to be
i like love as a cotton candy treat, that's right on!!
