Poetry on the run

Bluebird Love

love, poetry

For some Love is a monster in the closet
waiting in the darkness to pounce.
For others Love is an angel guiding you
to your one true intended.
I think Love is Bukowski's bluebird,
waiting, patient, deep, steadfast,
singing its song through the smoke and haze.
