Love

It is  an  age- old  vicious virus  of  a  kind,
Ever invisible ,alluring ,invasive  and  sly ,
Posing  to  be  a treat from the high sky ,
Blessing with bliss  the  heart and the mind ;
The  febri-fit  has  its  symptoms  to  find :
Vivid ,latent,obverse ,or perverse in close ally ,
Cloy in a way,yet  aye  leave  the  throat  dry ;
And Time  deserts  the desolate victim  far behind ;
Immunity brings forth expressions in disguise ,
Or structures ,souvenirs  and  memorials  eternal ;
The losers  are  all  set  to  be  in  a dark doom,
Unless they sense   self- love  and not despise ;
Life  from nativity , through the  time  vernal ,
By  Nature's  rule has to  stay  in  full  and  bloom .
