your love like a flame held in an open hand your love like the sun tanning the back of my neck like a dream made of syrup your love like a masculine rhyme like writing in cursive your love like gulliver's travels like a gossamery painting like a self portrait your love like an outline like a border your love like a commotion like a cacophony your love like a palm flat on the table like a synecdoche like a spoon hitting the side of a glass your love like the truth like a promise your love like shoes i've kept for seven years your love like a secret beach like an oasis your love like being equal your love like a proverbial highway like a black ribbon stretching out before us your love like a collision in the dark your love like speeding up the tempo like repose like picking up subtle cues your love like a license plate like letters and numbers i've memorized your love like an ambulance like resuscitation your love like everything like an amalgam your love like who we are when we're together like two ripe mangos on a tree
