Love Poem: It's Like

It's Like

it's like driving around the barricade
lights flashing and the arms are down
the train is bearing down on me
its whistle screeching high-pitched alarm

it's like swimming in the ocean
a sign says "infested with sharks"
floating out further anyway
unafraid cause it's not yet dark

it's like flying a kite during monsoon
a key tied into the tail
conducting a little electricity
just to see how far she'll sail

it's like singing and dancing in rain
it makes me happy and feels so good
it's like the first time I kissed you
and love feels as it should
