My love is like a funny smell
By alandavidpritchard
25 October 2007
My love is like a funny smell

that hovers in the air;

like cigarette butts and coffee stains,

and cat wee on the stair.

Like bread crusts and potato peels

 
that’s how it looks,

that’s how my love feels. 


It tries,

at times,  to rhyme –

its meter is all but gone,

along with the red wine and the fire glow

and a log cabin locked in the snow,

and sunsets andJulio

Inri…Enri…Eng ...

that man who makes you cry with his voice.


 
I’m not saying that it’s not here ...

 
it is,

but in a way

that does not appear

like love,

to you.
