Why shall I compare thee to life at all?
When life is what thou create of what you,
Settle on. It can be an easy doll,
Such as a beauty of a large bamboo.
Or terrorizing as a Mongol army,
Devastating all who stand ahead of
It, like a person killing a puppy.
Thus comparison is not fine for love
But thou shall not compare thee to living,
Instead only admire thee and enjoy
Every moment of it and be building,
Thou love is that of a pending kill-joy.

Love shall always be person influence,
And it should be meant for love to embrace.
