Love Poetry Needs Your Help
Love may stifle and kill,
may break a tenderness over jagged rocks.
Love lingers after its burial,
it crashes into slow burns.
If you look for love it will evade,
waylay and capture, it may
entice you into a haunting fire.
Fall in love anyway
God made you a chemical reaction
so that you could be a catalyst
for the prayers of the penitent.
Love will bring lasting joy
when you suffer it to remake you.
When you love
in the very gene pool of life,
that pool will be your ocean,
it will become you
as you become it.
At the very least
it will produce true or raw poetry.
Poetry you can keep updating
as you travel on.
