You love
You worship love, like a god
Long for warmth and kindness
And you are desperate
Bitten by the frost
Reaching for the heart of fire
You sneer love, like a plague
That spread its sickness and you
You are strong in your stand
Hale and sane
You asked about love,
Curious and unfamiliar
Like a fawn nosing a maple bark
Hopeful and anticipating
To taste the sap drizzling through its pores
You curse love, like an unfaithful beau
Left to be betrayed and crossed
Nursing vengeance and bloody wound
Festering and venomous
You happily drink a jug of it
You defend love, like the queen of glory
Vehemently loyal to serve her
Taking pleasure to die for her
And blissful knowing you are her subject
You breathed love, like a sentence to death
That choked your breath away
Render your lungs into fear and submission
Placated like a wild horse tamed
Bounded and surrendered
You greet love, like an old friend of gone time
Full of aching fondness and nostalgia
Wishing you meet not too earlier
Yet still glad nonetheless
You love, it's enough.
