First of all, the first stanza of "Green... like love" needs another space for each line.

As for the poems... isn't the one on the left one that you wrote like, two years ago? It seems so familiar...
I prefer the one on the right. :) I take that last stanza to be a variation of "love the one you're with" or if there's nobody to love, love yourself and where you are at that point in time.
And I like that sentiment. It's kinda Buddhist, kinda Zen. Kinda everything.
I like the one on the left. I understand it better, although the two are so similar. The left one seems less vague and difficult to decipher-at least for me.
