Looking for love

 


I’ve been looking for love

in all the wrong places,

like one of those dreams

where you are contained

in a maze, no wait it’s an hotel,

but the corridors

always seem to change.

The room number

evades your mind.

Hidden clutter

lines the passages

that you find.

 

You decide to explore

the upper floors, love must be behind

one of these doors for sure.

Pressing buttons on the lift.

Buttons that have no numbers

nor meaning. But all of them appear

to be pointing up, so you must be in luck.

And as the carriage plummets

Fuuuuuu...

You touch the air, feet waving 

as the ground beneath disappears.

So fast It falls

you know this will hurt

when the ground makes its entrance call.

Just about...

Now.

You crumple

like bones of an old skeleton

found in a disused crematorium.

 

But you survive

this isn't the big finale,

there is an even bigger universal punchline

when you seek love

where love is so hard to find.

At every corner there is danger,

spike pits ready to impale you,

or a highwire walkway

that connects two corridors.

It’s like Occam’s house of horrors,

you know that before you wake

something here is going to hurt

like a final destination movie.

You try to avoid any possible ways

of ending up six feet under the earth,

but there is always something

lurking around every corner,

sometimes you just have to fall

and wake up in the arms of a lover.
