Analysis of Simile of Love



Canny, as that one crossing the winter
Persistent, like one enduring the summer
Pure, like a crystal-clear glass
that reflects my love for you, oh lass!

gentle, as water falling down the stream
illuminating when i stare the beam
unfathomed, like the mind of deity
my love for you is 'til eternity!
