Love as an analogy

I have been cynical about the term Love. I think it is over-hyped. Just a random thought gave an analogy between love and a candle. This poem is an outcome of that random analogy gone too far.!

Love is like a candle; it illuminates,

Illuminates you to the troubles you were less likely to face,

To the false reasons you were less likely to make,

Being in love is like lighting a candle, it gives warmth,

While you feel it, it melts away,

Some living in the illusion it was forever to stay,

Burning away but giving light,

A candle proved to be an inspiration for some,

May your love-story at least be for one.

Maybe in some universe electricity is jealous of the candles,

Love has the ability to create the same through scandals.

On a little further step it glows in the dark,

Your love has apparently caused a spark.

Be not like the candle, to be remembered only when it’s dark.

Do not get to close to the flame, it burns,

In love, practical thoughts emotionally churn.

A candle eventually burns out and leaves a little wax,

You could try moulding it again,

Just cherish your love memories and not the pain.
