Entangle
Love is a web
entangling to every heart
no-matter how large; how deep; how hard
simply not by a choosing but
by the yield of an ounce of emotion
just let go and see the way it goes or
inhale a scent of the others' sweetness or
listen to the melodies of the others' play or
the subtle overtures that sips attention or
perhaps fiddle with the choices attraction portray
yet its a wonderful thing;
a marvellous thing; an euphoric thing
can be a nostalgic thing; a melancholic thing
cos you can love and not be loved
or be loved and not love
love is foolishness not of a fool,
but of the entangled!
