The Cafe on the Corner
Across a craggy sidewalk Hurried footsteps pitter-patter Like the rushing of a river Along concrete banks and asphalt crossings

Loop
A low rumble shook me from my slumber. While rubbing the dried drool from the creases of my lips, I blinked my way back to consciousness. My arms stretched in a yawn when I was struck by the realiztion, this isn't my bed, or my home, how did I get here?

Love
Do I describe it with a sonnet, or a soliloquy? A poem, or simple prose? The ‘L’ word is the single most powerful word in the English language, yet, it is also one of the most difficult words to define. If you ask the Merriam-Webster dictionary, there is a 14-item list of definitions for love. Now, this list does not really define love, not for me anyway. Love is something much stronger than meager words on a page, grasping at straws with hopes for some semblance of a concrete thought about an enigma. Love overwhelms the senses; it creates its own sight, sound, smell, touch, and taste; it engulfs your entire body in its soft, comfortable warmth and twists reality to the will of the heart rather than the mind. Perhaps love is so powerful because it grounds us, sure, the mind wanders at its thought but at the same time, it helps us find ourselves. Among the chaos and tumult of our daily lives, sometimes the only escape is love, the love for a person, place, or thing. The easiest and most logical way to describe this nebulous concept is by analyzing its effect on our senses. So that’s what I’ll do.
