"Mayflowers"

Love creates its own problems

that annoy and buzz and bite,

even when you can reach out

and squash them like bugs at night.

And distance further complicates

something that should be simple,

leaving lovers feeling resentful

while proclamations turn to whispers.

​

But love often overcomes,

in its own strange and bumbling way,

and old problems that used to bug you

seem silly in the light of day.

Things that can seem troublesome,

like insects or rainy showers,

make the world a better place

by giving birth to all the flowers.
