Unnatural Love

The grass is not green when it is dead,
And roses are not always red.
The sky is not blue when it is grey,
Colours change from night to day.
Clouds can be white, grey or even pink,
Nature does change didn't you think?


"Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
And I love you."


Comparing our love to nature is strange,
Nature is not fixed and it does change.


The grass it died,
And the roses weren't red I lied,
The sky is full of clouds of grey,
And flashing lightening bolts of dismay.
Nature does change and so did our love,
There is no use reckoning with the force from above.

  8. Relationships and the weather do change quite a bit and a power above does control the weather exclusively, however we better take some responsibility over our relationships and their fluctuations..

  9. I know we take our own responsibility ... It's just about how we compare love to nature as though that makes it solid and unchangeable - but nature does change.
