Essence of Love

As I bow in heartfelt genuflection to think upon the Greeks who divined three words for Love and it's reflection Agape is the hightest form divine with selfless care for those who are mine It's fruit is known by what I do and building all the parts of you phileo is brotherly affection the natural friendship and it's connection the love that resides in family within instinct and it's propensity Eros seems to be most appreciated never have I found it one who's hated Two sides to Eros have manifested both sides has mankind ever tested Lust and the table of the self or love of mate and pleasure in it's wealth All of us has been given this in measure the dispensing of it can give us pleasure But rapture is contained when all three live when we with complete heart choose to give all of us the truth within resisted but knowledge of it ever has persisted to teach us which we are to excercise the breath of spirit which within us lies will direct upon us our course and path and when we pass love is our epitath May truth ever be gleaned from Noble Men Please note I accidently left out storge family love in greek and that may not be the correct spelling...
