Ebbing land

Love is like a spine
it falls through the body of heat,
simulating what you believe to be inviting.

When lost you see what was done
when had you never leave it alone
love, being the small child you never had.

it conjures emotion
and voids the smile of hatred
but hatred is a philosophy
leaving love as a prophecy.

Man and woman
fighting the power
heaving towards the south
as if their hearts were cold
and always trying to be unsettled
with stimulation as a fault.

If time were bottled
it would cease to exist
one last man, and one last woman
trying to deny, what love really is.
