First Love – A Tanka

First love of the heart

Naive possibilities

Unrepentant joy

Ignorant of the danger

Until it has been shattered

    Love really is a battlefield and everyone’s armed with rocket launchers.

      I never thought of it that way (at least the rocket launcher piece), but I think you might be right. :)

      Sometimes every love is like the first one and when they end it is liking hitting your thumb with the hammer. :)
