[hometext] => This was my decision to create an entirely new philosophy (albeit an extremely outrageous one) but im hoping im right in thinking its quite unique, haha, try it on for size.
[bodytext] => To this day man is incapable of accurately placing in words Just what “love” means to us. We certainly have made valiant attempts Ranging from Shakespeare to Freud, the musical to the mundane, Far be it for me to argue one who would preach that love is naught But chemical reactions in our brain concerning peptides acting As neurotransmitters merely disciplining us to become accustomed To a particular person. All fine and dandy. I get it. We’re walking chemistry sets run by A trigger happy child who loves nothing more than to mix As many wonderful and horrible concoctions as he or she can muster. However, I call upon our knowledge and outlook of the Hot Dog. This is what love is to me, love is a hot dog. Wait, hear me out, its not As crazy as you think. You see, you can try and give me the precise Ingredients of a hot dog: cuisine’s natural smorgasbord, Forrest Gump’s box of chocolates in a meat disguise, food’s melting pot, America. But specifics and empirical explanation do nothing for me, The point being: they taste damn good. Who am I to demolish the magic in such things when the mystery doesn’t matter? Just as I know hot dogs will be delicious and juicy, fulfilling my inner desires, So too do I know love is an exotic creature we have inherently tamed yet Let loose in consistent fashion, much to our success and failure. And damn does it taste good. I am not ignorant of the lackluster origins of love or hotdogs, but I say with Much pride that I certainly do ignore it. They remain the rebels to our sensitivities, outlaws of scrutiny, Perhaps cold and unnerving upon examination, but in a superficial And imaginative way, they both maintain quality I cannot and will not Discredit by focusing on the negative. I guess I am a believer in the fact That we are not how we are created but how we can make an impact. Hot dogs, you have taught me all I need to know about love (Makes one wonder if condiments really are sexual innuendos, perhaps thats thought for another day however) And love likewise has taught me to enjoy every damn bite.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
