Love is often brittle,unreal, flimsy and unfaithful.
WHAT IS LOVE? -- a mirage.


What is love? Just a mirage,
Lovely from a distance.
Don't come nigh, nor touch nor test,
It's easily shattered.

What is love? A looking glass,
Casting a reflection.
But the reflection itself
Is just that, not real.

What is love? Ephemeral
Display of emotions.
Just a jerk and it breaks down,
Like flimsy gossamer.

What is love? A rose petal,
Hiding a thorn behind.
Kiss the rose and you get pricked.
So unfaithful is love!
