11 lines about love

Love’s a white orchid:simple but pure, fragile yet bold;and slow but sure till its wiles,the unthawed heart lure. Love’s a mocking bird:a singer with singers,who won't out-sing her, and hooter where hooters linger. Love’s like a Xhosa bushman: a resilient,care-free man. Love’s the Nile river’s journey: An adventurous journey. Love’s da Vinci’s lady.
