Love Is



Love is eternal, love is transient, love is invisible
Love is crazy, love is stupid, love is impossible
Love is wicked, love is kind, love is evil
Love is many things – it is God; it is the devil

When love’s arrow strikes you, your life ends – you die!
The poison from its arrow quenches your burning fire
Love is sinister; it would suck your blood like a vampire
Love is a handsome prince; the one you would desire

Love builds you; love destroys you. Love owns you
Love is how far you would go and what you would do
Would you cheat? Would you steal? Would you kill?
Would you fight? Would you see a Rock and act like Will?

Love has two sides; love is narrow, love is wide
Love is bipolar; Love is Dr Jekyll; Love is Mr Hyde
The secret to love is to master the art and take control
Love cannot be your master. Assume your role!
