(love)the overused word that doesn't mean the wordlove keeps you steady
it tests you
make certain it will test you
how silly of you
if it is you
to try and date love
make a temporary statement and call it love
for it requires all of you
all ten toes
each of your ten fingers
one nose
both eyes
even that brain inside your skull
no fleeting passion
no flighty moodswing
away passing emotion
forsake passing circumstance
don't even speak it's name in vein
for love is sacred
holy
look up its above
it takes more than you
it takes all of you
it requires more than you can give of you
death alas be it's alias
"do" dear fellow be it's armor bearer
"everything" be it's closest brother
and "long suffering" it's mother
to know love is to be loved
and to love is to never ever let go
even when met with eternity
dark encamped around thee
nothing left to cling to
hand in the hand of love's liberty
smiling in the face of catastrophy
with an air of certainty
you say
this I do all and I do mean ALL
for
you
