new love

Love is a beast,
chained forever;
a monster,
Slain over & over.

Love is a tone,
etched in stone.
a tune,
Played slower n slower

Love is a tease,
Lingers a bit longer.
a portrait,
Painted over n over

Love is a float,
that sails nowhere.
a chime,
ticks closer n closer.

Love is a naught
Crossed out.
a thought,
gets dimmer and dimmer

Love is a Christmas eve,
ready for a savior.
a party,
muffled forever and ever.
