Love

Perhaps sweeter than honey in its tiny cell,
Bold expectations of Heaven;  
Often ending up in Hell. 
Why do people believe its easy, 
Theyr’e seeking love that’s true? 
When usually its infatuation, 
Some wolf hunting for a screw. 
Love is something sublime, 
Where you don’t wallow in slime; 
A state of bliss from a sensous kiss, 
Taking one to a sunny clime. 
To take love to its Zenith, 
From Heart you have to mean It; 
Or you’ll leave behind a sordid mess, 
Leaving someone else to clean it. 
Love is something precious, 
Meant for only two;
Just sex alone is for animals, 
All living in some zoo: 
So be so true unto thyself, 
And do what you have to do 
Love your partner as yourself, 
I’m sure she’ll  love you too.
