What is the sound of love?
is there harmony between love
as it gleefully starts with a brush
on each shoulder while walking
and ends with the arm around the
same shoulder of the dire one?
did the first kiss resound the
same way as it did the last?
did the abruption result to you
also losing a stanza off the piece
in the process, and how did it go off?
did it happen with a ritardando?
or did it resonate with an exhilarating
accelerando, never receding
for an interlude or a pause?
did it tire you as much as it did
when you put in all your strength
as you drown with all the crescendos
of your insanity, and the euphony
it produces as it escalates to a fortissimo?
when was the last time you thought
that the start of a ballad is
as good as its conclusion?
what is the sound of love?
were you around when it hummed?
