LOVE is GOOD LAW

“This is His Commandment, that we unselfishly love and seek the best for one another…”

  1^st John 3:23

Love is Good Law,

A command:

It's belief is a simple concept –

Friendship,

The kind that assaults your memory,

With a musky fervor,

Like the scent of pheromones…

Thrills your most sensitive membranes,

Inside out,

For some inexplicable reasons,

As it masterfully and playfully,

Rolls down towards you,

Props itself up,

And stares at your eyes,

Expectantly,

Like you’re the best fairy tale,

Yet to be written.

Aah! Love is beautiful;

Farfetched maybe,

To the simple- minded,

But far from being a cliché,

It bears a sting of felicity,

Supercharged with a good pact of intent,

Appealing not just to desire -

Superficial cloak,

But also conclusive in commitment;

With a pinch of madness,

Added to assorted ingredients of passion,

And extraordinary affection,

Love becomes an acquired taste,

To an ardent paramour,

A peculiar Law,

With a spine-chilling aroma,

Strong as death…

It’s beautiful and bold,

Impeccable,

Ev’n as it grows old,

Along the caprice of time,

Love is an irrefutable truth,

Unambiguously,

Cannot be one hundred percent,

As things get considerably worse,

Before they get better,

But shelving all probabilities,

Then sticking to friendship,

Minimizes all other odds,

The odds of falling out,

And highlights the possibilities,

Of miniature souls –

Little maids and lads,

To love and nurture.

Verily I say unto you,

He that loves this Law,

Enjoys the feel of this,

He that loves this Law,

Gets his fill of it.
