Love Dilemma

Who to choose? 
Or choose no one at all!
The dilemmas of love are not easy to solve 
The soul yearns for companionship 
while the body seeks to touch other flesh 
A perfect combination is what we all want 
But relationships can bring sorrow into one' life 
Still - where would we be without them?  
We are not like Robinson Crusoe - surviving alone 
Our lives are touched by many 
in positive and negative ways 
The path of love is often a crooked road 
Nevertheless must go down it willingly 
Some happiness, some sadness of the way 
Flowers in spring remind us 
That the very earth itself seeks for love
