Love is like a roller coaster
if you like the high
you’ll enjoy ride
some run from the thrill
for fear they’ll take a spill
but life without love
is like a roller coaster
with no passengers
empty

Hello Blooming Rose,

You've managed to make a very good point here by using a contrast -the joyful atmopshere emanating from a happy crowd of roller coaster passengers enjoying the thrill and the gloomy stillness of an empty roller coaster- as a metaphor for unconditional love and love declined for fear of the hurt involved in case of failure.

I think that most adults, irrespective of gender, have experienced the dilemma of choice between commitment to love and rejection of love because of the perceived risks.

This brief piece of philosophical free verse will ring a bell for them, as it did for me.

As a newbie to this web site I look forward to reading more of your work.
