Reasons For Love

The love of modern necks
Give me the thermal gladiator
The right translation
Give me a reason for words
Give me a redefinition of love

It won’t happen
Years upon years from now,
We will love where our gut leads us
And when we think of “gut”
We think of “Rambo”
And when we think of war we get distracted
And distraction is the separation of love

Love is the selfless conqueror
Love is grabbing her hair for a reason.

Nothing is tied together here,
Senseless eyes are squeezed together
The means to there own end:
This is love.
