The Picture On the Coin

You can take love to the store~ that's nice, but the cashier will say kindly, that I need a bit more... You can take love to the bank, and the teller will say, that's nice but not a deposit, dear, to be quite frank... One takes love to the Altar: I also do, but two years latter the relationship may be thoroughly through... for in the scheme of physical reality love is not coin even accepted by charity, as the plate is passed from hand to hand down the pew if not delivered your 10% the priest may think, damn you! Yet, I confess, being addicted to love, no great wealth on earth, small price to pay for tokens fitting the turnstile above....

Hi Pangie; thank you. All topics are not original...the only thing that makes a write original...is ourselves. Even the sin, a duplicate. Blessings my friend.

Unfortunately and with much to be desired, love is abstract.
