What Is Love?

What is love that does not look above ?
A bunch of illusion immersed in delusion
What is love that does not look like dove ?
Insanity and infatuation that breed derision.

What is love without sanity obtained? 
Down the lane of pain with hope slain 
What is love without sincerity contained? 
 Inanity cum infirmity that brings stain .

What is love without sights and sounds? 
A bat in reality’s city, bound by nature 
What is love without pride and pounds ?
A cruel culture, nasty nature and vile venture.

Brilliant writing, I really felt this type of questions in my head but, you know, I really like this 'cause this just explains how love is so unexplainable.. Kudos to you.
