love tastes like
suns setting
into salt seas.
it tastes like
riveting shock
and
calming serenity
in simultaneous
occurrence.
it melts in
your mouth
and dissolves
into your body.
it coats your tongue
in euphoria
and leaves
your breath
smelling of
beautiful ecstasy.
when you
feel it
tingle under
your tongue
and leave a
sweetness
lingering for days,
you'll know.
sometimes though
it tastes like ice
freezing your taste buds
leaving you senseless
like candles lit
after tragedy
and no one speaks
like they all
know something you don't
but they don't
want to let
themselves go
but love
is pure
and chaotic
and violent
and maniacal
but still,
it is beautiful.
