Categories of Love

Oh sinful love!
Ranges of diversity surround thee.
Quests fulfilled for meager use.
The style has no grace or degree.
Bended and forlorn though many seek,
Your pleasure is lessoned each time needed.
Oh sinful love!
When shall you no longer be seeded?


Oh hurtful love!
Pains that are dispatched between two,
Heartaches of dysfunction go on.
Tempers flare, damage done true.
Words embellish each other’s agony.
Hiding behind wronged emotions,
Oh hurtful love!
Why do you grab unto no devotions?


Oh jealous love!
Our minds decide before the hearts.
Suspicions hold them hidden.
Reaped or sowed before it starts.
Blended by stories of the past,
Catalyzing victims collapsed,
Oh jealous love!
Who are you to gather the elapsed?


Oh restless love!
You feed searches for a better time.
Taunting the heart to swell,
Spreading glamour never sublime,
Guiltlessly pressing new actions,
Playing down romantic school,
Oh restless love!
Whom do you think you do fool?


Oh endearing love!
Secluded and sanctioned in honor.
Searched for from each passions start,
Respectively entwined, never a goner,
Blessed in blissful peace and more,
Built on solid foundations of human soul,
Oh endearing love!
Where is your blueprint in life’s toll?
