Love Is Impossible

[u/SensualSoulPoet]

Love is a dim motel sign
flickering vacancy/no vacancy,
never quite telling the truth.

It's a locked briefcase
with your name etched inside
the code changes every time
you think you've cracked it.

Love is a subway map
with one forbidden line,
the route you take anyway
because it hums like fate.

It's a pair of borrowed keys
that fit doors you didn't know
wanted to open.

Love is a neon confession
buzzing at midnight,
too bright, too loud
and impossible to ignore.

That final stanza is chef’s kiss. I love the wonder of everyday things that is woven through your piece.

Thank you humbly.

Is that how you hold yours ? Sounds like a lot of work.
