Love's Hidden Dictionary

Love is catering to another being
 
It could be a person, frog, or queen
 
No matter the status or position 
 
Only love can satisfy a grand inquisition
 
 
 
Love is laying bare what you can share
 
Going down to unseen roots
 
The way a mighty oak grapples earth
 
Though sometimes love floats on a breeze
 
Ethereally, love is unpredictable 
 
 
 
Some use love
 
The way bankers count money
 
Storing tomorrow's honey-
 
Or with instrumental purpose
 
Like a wrench to a socket
 
Love comes oddly
 
 
 
But love is beyond
 
Material in the pocket
 
Love is universal, though
 
Special every time
 
Spontaneous and vibrant
 
Only love makes the verses shine
