Love cuts <br />love juts out <br />and you walk right into it. <br /> <br />Love cuts <br />love comes and goes <br />love's a rose <br />first you smell the flower <br />then the thorn goes up your nostril <br />love gives you chocolates <br />then love gives you the chop <br />it doesn't like to linger. <br /> <br />Love cuts <br />love shuts up shop <br />and shuts it on your finger <br />love cuts <br />what isn't very nice is <br />love leaves you in slices. <br /> <br />Love cuts <br />love's very sharp <br />a harpoon through an easy chair <br />a comb of honey in your hair <br />just wait until the bees come home <br />and find you just relaxing there. <br /> <br />Love cuts <br />love's claws <br />evacuate that heart of yours <br />and leave it on the sleeve it wipes <br />its nose on. <br /> <br />Love cuts, love guts the fish <br />of what you wish for <br />and leaves it in the airing cupboard <br /> <br />Love cuts <br />love huts fall down <br />as all the walls get falser. <br /> <br />Love cuts <br />love struts around on stilts of balsa wood <br />love cuts love gives you a sweeping bow <br />then ploughs a furrow deep above your eyebrow <br />love cuts <br />love curtseys <br />then nuts you <br />where it really hurtseys.<br /><br />John Hegley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/love-cuts/
