Love is love

WE DON'T NEED THE THOROUGHFARES
WHEN LOVE SEEKS THE HEART,
EVERY CONSPIRACY MEANS MERE
WHEN NOTHING CAN DRAW US APART.
IT IS THE LOVE THAT WE NEED
IN TIMES OF GRIEF, CONTENTMENT AND
GREED.
STRANGE IS WHEN LOVE IS TAKEN FOR
GRANTED,
AS IF EVERYTHING WAS ACHIEVED
WHEN LOVE WAS MOSTLY WANTED.
SOME MISTAKE IT FOR A WANT,
FOR LUST TO BE LOVE -
BUT ONE NEEDS TO FIGURE OUT
IF IT IS AS HEAVENLY AS A DOVE.
IT IS EXQUISITE WHEN THE WANT IS THE
NEED,
AND VALUABLE ENOUGH JUST AS THE PLANT
NECESSITATES THE SEED.
SO CALL OUT FOR IT, LOVE IS THE NEED,
THE PERSON MAYBE SOUGHT, AND THE
BLISS MAYBE THOUGHT
'CAUSE WE'LL NOW SHARE EVERYTHING
AND LOVE EACH OTHER UNTILL WE BLEED.
