Love's Selection

The word love is carelessly spewed,
Overused, misused, and abused.
Its connotation is attributed
To a sex object exhibited
And treated uninhibitedly.

Beauty defined gives the impression,
That it’s the outward appearance
Intended to shape one’s perception,
For choosing in matrimony,
Regardless of consequences.

Different sexes with expressions
And their need for gratification
Lean toward infatuation,
Because emotional eyes can deceive
And influence one’s selection:

When physical lusts of attraction,
Impede the mind’s comprehension,
Resulting in flawed situations;
Rather than seeking combinations,
That make living enjoyable.
