Never Heard of 'Love'

It takes many forms None of which I'm familiar From landscape affinity To blood-born bonds From mild infatuation To sensory captivation Intimate life creation To declarations between nations What of this ruthless red tie?

Spawn of confessions Expressions and obsessions Most defiant of depression What of this radiant red tie? For which begins in the eyes Comes as quite a surprise Where there, you both lie What of, this relentless red tie? Invalidates, all sense Justifies, any expense For you my love, will never end...
