Love Is

Love is not

Arrangement of convenience,

A contracted alliance, 

Social institution giving licence

Between two people, with 

A tribal clannish

Pull for family.


Love is not

Dependence 

Or dominion


Love is not

Attraction

Physical lust

Sapiosexual trust

Random affair

Or pas de deux of

Intellectual flirts


Love is not

Mercy 

Charity

Pity.


Love is

Indefinite meeting

An universe in two minds,


Love is not

Between lovers alone. 

Empathy involves 

Burden sharing

Problem solving

Evolves it


Love is

At first sight,

Foresight,

At second sight

It is 

Rendezvous with 

A divine stranger

An intimacy surpassing

Common shared goals 

And life choices.


Love is

Blessed beyond knowing 

Truest bliss you may know

As human.


Love is

Poem for living

With all

Without blame

Guilt, pain.


Love excludes 

Exclusion. 

Love is

Painting of life

In myriad rainbows

Expressing everyone’s

Imagination. 


Love is 

Mine 

And 

Yours 

Defined only as

Supreme harmony.


The struggle

The obstacles

Overcome

Are the cost.


Love’s price

Is lost, insubstantial

Worth subsumed, 

When we embrace.
