The Tale of Love a Million Dollar Question
love is undefinable
it is an illusion
that impregnates the heart
people blurt out and say
i have found love
get real...
whats the colour?
how heavy is it?
its a million dollar question
why wont you say you have found love?
i ask?
you see a lady who is voluptuous
sexy at best...with a full front and back
why wont you say you have found love
its all a facade
driven by lust
we all try to picture love
but its unpicturable
cause it cannot be captured
even with a camera lens
love driven by the heart
is rare like an extinct dinosaur
why not love a blind girl?
why not love a deaf girl?
why not love a supposed ugly girl
over my dead body they say
love....which is real and tested by fire and metal
does not wither away
cause it is formed from the heart
it is not carved out of appearance
because appearance fades and withers
in any love triangle
this is just an added incentive
love without sacrifice
and respect for a ladies dignity,virtue, body is no love at all
love that dwells on de-virtue-ing a lady is no love at all
to make a lady virtue-less like a virtuoso is not love
love that wants to corrupt and ravish a ladies body
is not love at all but it is called fleshly lust
ladies...i plead
diligently wait for your one true love
dont take him for granted
experience they say is the best teacher
why wont it be cause it leaves one scarred
found a lady i truly love...i know she likes me
poured out myself as humble as i can be
and as simple as i am
but its been a battle of both worlds
a tale of two cities
i fear for her
threading the path others have trodden
filled with regrets
i truly love her...no doubt
because her love flows in me
like a stream that never runs dry
she is a treasure
who needs a treasurer
to safeguard her virtue till her wedding night
dont ply that route filled with regrets
my pointview, i feel your pain
because i have mentally prepared myself for this task
and the fools feel a man cannot keep his virtue
i am keeping mine for you
cause it will not be fair if i want you to keep yours
and i have lost mine...
so ladies...
be patient...'
watchful...
prayerful...
someone like me needs you kept
and together we will build
a godly generation
that will keep up the virtue and precepts
of love as ordained by God
i have been called names for my lack of conformity
to the tenets of the society
i know you ladies will too
ladies i plead...
guard your virtues like the princesses you are
waiting for her prince
together we shall mould
a greater generation
sealed with the covenant of love
as ordained by God
