What was love like? - Intellectual Writings

“What was love like?”
Love was like wine;
Aged better, with time…
Some were doing just fine,
While others perfecting their crime…
It casted a chill through the spine,
And yet for some, it wasn’t even worth a dime.
Some perfected their quest in a straight line,
While the rest opted for gaining a prime…
Though it did throb like a tine,
Sometimes, it created a labyrinth of vine…
And yet, it was worshipped like a shrine..
So melodious, just like a chime…
Though some only did whine,
The rest got busy on throwing on it the grime…
Some got serious, on the paper they did sign,
While others still searched for their hime.
In the beginning it’s just mine, mine and only mine…
But at the end, it turns out to be a mime.
