Love's know-how

Love sounds
Familiar but profound
Everyone knows
Something about its know-how

In love the heart flies
On borrowed wings of ecstasy
On crash-landing it finds
To wallow in self-pity is easy

Nothing and nobody matters
Except for the special someone
Then the myth shatters
Desperately seeking one good reason

The investment is heavy-
A strong heart and sanity
The crash has a levy
It’s either your life or dignity

The more one knows of it
Bigger is the mystery
Before you know enough of it
It becomes a part of history

Love sounds
Familiar but profound
Everyone knows
Something about its know-how
