Love

LOVE
To love is to suffer 
To avoid suffering one must not love
But then one suffers from not loving
There for to love is to suffer
Not loving is to suffer 

To suffer is to suffer
To be happy is to love
To be happy then is to suffer 
But suffering makes one unhappy

But therefore to be unhappy 
One must love or,
love to suffer  or
Suffer from too much happiness

love is a paradox
love is a riddle
Yet with it life has a meaning 
                            D.Trophy

Thanks for sharing this. Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." God bless you.
