Love Is What It Is

Love is what it is
Like a baby, well nourished it grows 

The eye is the sole instigator
Falling for something the heart beholds

Space and time find no compromise
That gradually feed the ego

With the green eye monster at controls
For heaven sake, aren't we humans?

Jealousy is an unmasked hit man
Flaring in all directions of life
