Human love

 Human Love

Two random bits of DNA trying to make it work
Passion slowly cooling down
Fate twisted in knots
An unstable mess on a rock solid foundation
Everything the minister warned you about and more
Something to hold onto until your last breath
As mysterious as multiple universes
A strange condition that can last a day or a lifetime
Not always about making love
Making making love into love
Damned hard work
Sticky as a spider’s web
What we live for and die for
A finger tracing the length of the body
What most songs are written about
What Disney films distort for profit
Something even Jesus couldn’t figure out
A rainstorm bringing floods to some and puddles to others
What it took St. Paul a lot of adjectives to describe
What can smack, frighten, dislodge, tickle, explode, contort and blossom
The most important measure of a meaningful life
What transcends class, gender, race, and even species
A dream we try to live in
A costume party at a circus
A personal concoction of giving, taking and self-delusion
Things that happen in most of our beds
Poisoned by Cupid’s arrow and living to tell about it
A fishing line cast into the water, baited with hope
A bitch of an enigma
What makes the world spin off its axis,
And land in the most unexpected places
