Love at Second Sight

The rain is my loyal friend. I think she's a girl, for if not, her cranial massages wouldn't be so...sensuous. Ok all I'm trying to say is that, after 17 days of cognitive degeneration, I really thank God for sending the rain this morning to rouse my "amorous" tendencies. Finally something original.

Dear rain,

\m/!! Rock on! Thanks for coming today! :D

God bless,
Torsten

Ok here it is, enjoy and comment!

Love at Second Sight

Some people say that this was how love was made
Not our common notion of made, not for what price can be paid
But the core of it all, is what I articulate
is that maybe love is just a hormone secreted from day to day.
No no! You don't-know desperados, love was never ever made,
It rests in the form of a golden planet not quite far away!
Its brightness in the gloomiest nights never seem to fade,
especially not in the darkness, where it can be made
(Yes now I do refer to the upper lines of fiscal masquerades.)
Cattle dung, oxen muck! cry our geniuses with dangling crosses
(who never get laid…
not ‘till they wed)
Love is in Corinthians, what more has to be said?
Salesmen preach of spring, sponge and latex gadgets
But I reckon it exceeds the covers of the harem beds
It drinks not wine but spit and spite
It’s not endocrine and it is despite
I’ve seen its lines and squares and appetite
and what it offers is truly divine
So what about love at first sight?
Somebody said God made us in pairs long before time
and when there was earth He threw us inside
A mix and match of search and find
with Him to pronounce where it honestly resides.
