The Way Of It

Rating: 5.0


It's thunderstorm country around here.
They roam the boiling, hot, southern skies
on legs of lightning, like dark, angry trolls.

My Chinese roommate is impressed with them
because as menacing and mountainous and electrical
as they seem, through the trees whip and the rain
lashes - like special effects - no real damage is done.

Love is like that, a circus briefly coming to town,
that scintillates, palpitates, irritates or validates
- a carney-call with the urgency of a sale.
"Run away and join the show, " it whispers.

Love is both less than it seems and more than it is.

'Love is both less than it seems and more than it is' - an excellent inference. You have also drawn a beautiful imagery of the thunderstorms and rains.

Thanks Khairul, I showed that line to my roommates and they didn't think it made sense *shrug*

I get paid more than £145 to £395 per HOUR for working online. I heard about this job 3 months ago and after joining this I have earned easily £23k from this without having online working skills. Simply give it a shot on the accompanying site… Here's what I do__________ PAYS11.COM
