As the dense smoke of indecision lifts,
it becomes clear that a heavy heart is cumbersome.
Where once it entranced, it now serves
to pelt the senses like a sack of cement.
Reduced to a murmur, it is reluctant to answer
love’s call. All stray thoughts travel
to hell and back without a map.

…..yes, that is life….. and, more often than not, that is love…
I like “the dense smoke of indecision” and cannot but agree with
“All stray thoughts travel
to hell and back without a map.”
Ah, love… {smiles}
Compact…using all twelve words with so much truth. I like ‘ heavy heart is cumbersome’ and of course, the ending:) to a crazy little thing called love.
Beautifully written in so few words.
Amazingly concise cohesion of random words weaved into a tale of “Lost Love” thats goes to hell and back ! Fantabulous !!!!
