Love is like a fruit bowl

Love is like a fruit bowl
Many colors; each so sweet,
Kindness is a tall tree
Offering squirrels a retreat.

Honesty a canvas
Blank but filled with many shades,
Vanity a blood pool
Never meant for you to wade.

Sadness is a dark cloud
You can't touch; yet still it rains,
Learning is a staircase
Each step causes growing pains.

Happiness a rainbow
If you chase it it will flee,
Gratitude will fill you
As will honey for a bee.

Vengeance is a hammer
It can shatter bitter souls,
Jealousy will see your
Heart is raked across the coals.

Tolerance can be a bridge
Across a raging river,
Lust is all consuming
Wants more than you can give her.

Forgiveness is a white dove
High atop an olive tree,
Serenity is silence
So I guess enough from me.
