People are chasing love everywhere,-
some even die for it in despair,
for life minus love equals zero.
Love is a finest Heaven's mirror.
Love brings colour and taste to life.
It's imitations, alas, are rife,
as many accept their grey existence,
replacing it by their lust, for instance.
Love is elusive. True love is rare.
It might seem even unfair:
some have plenty, some - meagre dozes.
Some don't notice it under their noses.
Love is never selfish or cruel.
Love is a life’s secret fuel,
giving us wings to fly above
bad circumstances. Such is love!
It’s an epitome of human dreams,
flooding with living waters streams.
One can be rich or one can be poor,
all are at risk of the arrows of Amour.
Is it a fine exquisite feeling?
Love makes you ill or brings a healing.
A soul may feel the waves of oceans,
yet, a true love is above emotions.
Love is considerate, full of grace,
it doesn’t give to revenge a place.
Being with heavenly values aligned,
love is long-suffering, patient and kind.
But with the current tendencies now
sadly, it’s easy to brake a wow.
It’s even harder to love a neighbour,
but love is a growing soul’s labour.
Our souls, by sinfulness chained,
with self-indulgence and treacheries stained,
can they really know love’s meaning,
had it not been for God’s intervening,
showing us the greatest example
of perfect love, on which people trample?
Love, raw, without a trace of gloss
is in its essence the way of the cross.
