Love by Definition
By H.F
Love. What is Love?
Is it the onset of courtship, which finally leads to mating?
A potent feeling so strong it’s unbreakable?
Yes. Love is everything, like a bridge between two elements
Love is yin and yang, ebony and ivory
It’s black and white
It’s like…heaven and earth
Love is the sky so high you could reach it, because of love
Love is light without shadow!
No. No! No! No! That’s not love!
Love is an abomination
A crippled entity that brings oblivion among us
Like a clay molded into disfigurement
Causing hate
Bringing lust
Longing violence and abuse in the presence of innocents
Love causes misguidance at times, guidance at fewer times
Wait! Love is pure, beauty, us?
I love my wife, kids, and dogs
I love spaghetti with meatballs
I love orgy, methamphetamine, and Andy Dick (Gasp!)
No. No! No! No! It can’t be!
Love is a rare species, changes by the seasons
In summer? Peace, harmony, and unity
In autumn? Disunity, turmoil, change of beliefs
In winter? War, economy, stupid politics, genocide, Islamophobia, anti-Semitism, et cetera-phobia
In Spring? None.
Love, by definition, is sacred yet emotion-influenced
By definition, strong
By definition, weak
By definition, unpredictable! (laughing!)
