from Untitled Love Poem 1 by Li Shang-yin

love is a total waste of time
you and I know that

but there’s something about its madness
that opens the eyes and clears the mind

  1. Madness indeed!
    Opens the eyes? Wait, I thought love was blind!?
    Clears the mind? Well my mind takes a leave of absence while my heart runs wild!
    Madness, just madness!

    I obviously have mixed feelings about love — I enjoy being in it but it usually leaves my life in a great deal of turmoil. Sigh…
