Whirlpool love

A kind old lady asked us

How we fell in love

But we never fell in love so simply

We slipped into it

Lost for traction

We tumbled

Plopped

Crashed

Into love


A terrible gasp for air

before the fall

We shrieked into love

We howled

Screeched

Yelped

Cried

Into love


Brace for impact

Our eyes closed tight

We feared

Panicked

Petrified

Startled

Into love


On impact

We were pulverized

Fragmented

Shattered and

Split up

Like Atoms in fission

Making a big explosion


These days we fall in love quite frequently

We're swept up by it

Like leaves caught in the wind

We're tossed around

Swayed

Drifted

Glided into love


We're dipped into it wet some days

Soaked

Drenched

Flooded

Submerged

Our lungs stretched for air

Caught in a Whirlpool love


We didn't just fall in love

We eased into it, like a puzzle

Fine wine's first sip celebrated into it

We made a daily prayer out of it

Hey Bailey

Isn't it true that

We knocked ourselves out with it
