About Love

Everything about Love is fascinating; Love at first sight; love that lasts forever; Love that kills: winter, fall, summer and spring. Everything about Love has an element of fever In it: the anger, the rage, the jealousy, The scorn, the disgust, the dishonesty, The deception … etcetera, etcetera. It is a timing bomb that can explode at the blink of An eye, or implode momentarily at the crank Of a gun. Love can be unexpectedly deadly, Beautiful, joyful, sweet … etcetera, etcetera. Everything about Love is controversial: The lazy days of summer on the boardwalk, And the romantic promenade in the park. Everything about Love is exceptional: The beauty of the kissing and hugging swans, And the tenderness of caressing hands. Everything about Love is beyond words: The lilies at springtime, the singing birds During the summer, the ice-skating children During the wintry season, and in autumn, The dead leaves in the Garden of Eden. Everything about Love is beyond words. Everything about Love can be either sane Or insane. Love can be fascinating, Controversial, exceptional, and disgusting.
