Flood
on desert roads low spots usually have a flood gauge and a caution sign
if the water reaches this point do not drive in the world seems hot and dry
water does not penetrate the hard desert landscape flash floods fill arroyos
like love's first bloom the heart is full to over flowing no flood gauges
no caution signs we rush right in throw caution to the wind
no thought of a broken heart can you swim keep your head above water
save yourself maybe a distress flag and a life vest in your tool box
until you know if he is Mr. Right ..or Mr. Wrong

Ah, you are right, Annell, sometimes we do rush right in....throwing caution to the wind. We just hope for the best!
I'm not sure where we would put the road sign--a tattoo maybe? From desert to flood in an instant--ah youth! I remember when love seemed that simple. It never was. Neat poem.
I love the comparison of love to floods. It is just that discombobulating. I really like this one, Annell.
"we rush right in"...Love is blind ;)
I like the comparison of floods and love - so true. Keep your head above water!
strong tide,

Different & unique style of expression!
Flood in a desert...
Need to survive.
