Love's Menagerie

a love to behold.

Love's a menagerie, a curious sight,

Where creatures roam in the day and the night.

Each with its quirks, its temperaments bold,

A story untold, a love to behold.

The lion of passion, with mane flowing bright,

Roars with desire, a fierce, hungry might.

It stalks and it pounces, a heart-pounding chase,

A love all-consuming, a wild, reckless race.

The playful otters, paws intertwined,

Glide through the water, a love unconfined.

They frolic and splash, a joyous display,

A love that's refreshing, lighthearted all day.

The wise old elephant, memories vast,

A love that's enduring, a bond meant to last.

Loyal and steady, a pillar of strength,

A love built on trust, its journey of length.

The shy, blushing panda, with eyes soft and deep,

A love gentle and cautious, a secret to keep.

Bamboozled by feelings, it hides in its den,

A love hesitant, waiting to begin.

The chattering monkeys, swinging through trees,

A love full of drama, a constant appease.

Jealousy flares, tantrums erupt,

A love rollercoaster, emotions run hot.

The graceful gazelles, leaping with glee,

A love fleeting and free, meant to wander and see.

Independent spirits, exploring the plains,

A love that's unbound, unshackled by chains.

The penguins huddle, a love built on trust,

Sharing the warmth, weathering the worst.

Together they waddle, a team standing tall,

A love that's collective, a shelter for all.

The cunning chameleon, changing its hue,

A love adaptable, ever-evolving, anew.

It blends with its surroundings, a master of disguise,

A love with a chameleon heart, a love that surprises.

The slow-moving sloth, hanging upside down,

A patient, contented love, barely a sound.

Unfazed by the chaos, it takes things in stride,

A love that's relaxed, content to reside.

The nocturnal owl, with wisdom untold,

A love that thrives in the shadows, bold.

It observes and listens, secrets in sight,

A love that's mysterious, veiled by the night.

The singing birds, melodies sweet,

A love full of expression, a lyrical feat.

They serenade their mate, love songs in the air,

A love that's harmonious, a beautiful pair.

But love's zoo can be dangerous too,

With venomous snakes, a love that can sting you.

Possessive and jealous, a constricting embrace,

A love that suffocates, leaving no space.

The solitary wolf, howling at the moon,

A love that's lost, a sorrowful tune.

Longing for connection, a heart full of pain,

A love that's unrequited, yearning in vain.

Yet, the zoo persists, a vibrant display,

Of every emotion, love finds its way.

From playful to fierce, from gentle to strong,

Love's a menagerie, where hearts all belong.

So step into the zoo, and let love unfold,

With all its creatures, brave, new, and old.

Embrace the adventure, the laughter, the tears,

For love's a wild journey, through the passing years.
