The Defect Of Love


Is Love a defect?
It could be considered
an emotional weakness

A chink in the armor
It causes you to
do unusual things- - - - -

Can get you to
alter your whole life
Do things that

are uncharacteristic
Bend you into it's
desires and whims

It is like being
under a magical spell
with potions and elixirs

It can even be
a defect in 
your personality

But it also has
it's rewards that go
beyond your wildest imagination

It certainly is our greatest human challenge as we walk our specific paths, Frank. ThkU for articulating your views & posting poem. It has a strong uplifting last line & nice simple format. I like the way you factual state : “ It causes you to do unusual things- - - - - / ( poetic tip : think about changing ‘defect’ in title to ‘challenge’ perhaps? : will make poem more punchy ) Shine on.x.
