Sudden Love
©April 14th, 2018
By Vijaya Sundaram
Love comes in many forms
Brutal and sudden,
Sweet and slow,
Like a flash of lightning,
Or the slow blush of dawn.
When it is sudden,
It’s a boulder rushing downhill,
Crushing all in its path.
Sometimes, it’s just easier
To get out of the way, leap aside
Exit through a trap door,
And find loneliness instead.
