lost in the metaphor

i find myself comparing
love to just
about anything.

i've lost my metaphorical 
mind.

love is an apple,
a peach.

it's a rock, a tree.
it's a stream.

love is a star, a moon,
a galaxy
far away.

an ocean, a sea.

love is meat.
it's pudding. it's candy.

a pie, a cake.

it's a fire burning,
it's ashes,

it's smoke. it's bitter
and sour.

love costs everything.
it's free.
