An Ode to Love

An Ode to Love (A lone voice whispers) Is Love Like one Finding a South Philippine Dwarf Kingfisher One of the World's Rarest birds A much-welcome visitor To see and treasure Sunbathing in the sun Or two Does it sometimes Fly high Like an extraordinary Golden Eagle Over all emotional Physical or Spiritual Battlefields As it goes-to-war With family Friends Religion or politics For true love never Yields Or three is it just like a form of Fast Love That just runs Jumps out the door and hits the road Looking for a new lascivious episode After its heavy load Explodes When it's had its fun And finally, Which one have you experienced Did love find you or betray you Like Judas Iscariot?
