The Speed of Love

Moving at the speed of love
Here, let me help give it a shove
Has something gone terribly amiss
Oh, this isn't your pictured bliss

Honestly, are you even venturing to try
Please, whatever you do, don’t start to cry
Dry those eyes, the ones red from all the tears
Suck it up now along with all your crazy fears

Banish bad feelings to the outer kingdom
Prepare yourself for your complete Elysium
This is just the same crazy romance
Please, take that millionth chance

Moving at the speed of love
Come on, take off that boxing glove

Whatever you do, don’t try to fight it sweetheart
It’s like letters and numbers on a Snellen chart
More complex than body art
Just do your part
Love could always fall apart
Or, it may never start

Take heart before it all departs
Leaving you much wiser rising like a geyser
Or, unstable and hot like a volcano
Looking for that mystic illusive rainbow

Your love may show up from Macao
The speed of love knows no bounds
They could be speaking and smiling a ciao
Or offering to pay for everything in pounds

The speed of love is such a mystery
So when you’re feeling that heartache misery
Remember the mister or missy could be slippery
A veritable twister and very awesome glittery
Adding to your misery, making you all jittery

Go ahead; just follow up on that inquiry
Yes it could be black magic trickery
However you owe it to yourself to think
About this
It could be the one little damn victory
Leading you to a picture perfect delivery
A kind of fateful twist
Sealing love's bliss
At the speed of love,
Undreamed and
Unheard of

Hi, ImagineLove,
Hopefully, if having to chose between Love could always fall apart Or, it may never start, one would want to take a chance that it could work out - though The speed of love knows no bounds, either at the high end or the low. Thanks for sharing.

Nobody knows the suggested speed for love. Sometimes it hits us like a speeding bullet more powerful than a locomotive and make us leap tall buildings in a single bound. Most of the time it makes us blind. A unique profound idea you have. Yet I think love comes to us
in its perfect timing.

Ziusudra (excellent name, wrapped in humility) I believe that too and hold that hope for my life, love comes at the perfect time! Thank you for your thoughts! hug purple heart
