Love Can

Love will crown you yet because Love Can
At the same time, it will also crucify you!
Love as sweet as honey was transformed into a closet of darkness
The love that was shared was the end and the beginning!
On this road of life, we will come to find ourselves alone for a season

The scent of bliss will not last forever
Cuddling with fame because
You want to uplift someone’s name can
Be tragic especially if the vision for love is not the same!

Delicate fibres of beauty
Requires unity with the rest of your purpose!
Without the proper functioning of the eyes
We would be plagued with toxins and
Often our eyes deceive us!

Love so firm can transform a man/woman for good or bad
What is really sad is the fact that
The scent of bliss will not last forever!
In reality, on this road of life
We will come to find ourselves alone for a season and
Discover that in solitude what love really is!

One hopes that we find and solve this intense feeling of love when we feel we are drowning in it. Some miss it, some see it and don't nurture it and some take it for granted, that it should always be there without any effort to bring it about. This is a deep profound write my friend, congratulations on being honored with POTD, hugs and blessings Jennifer.
