No Legal Definition Thereof!

Superimposed over my conscience,
lies the veneer of social constraint.
I temper will, in a restrictive sense,
to avoiding the hubris of complaint.

My interaction takes a color of lie,
'white lie' as convenience purports.
Honesty and truth suffer but do try,
to eke out an approximate support.

While love, oh dear, is distorted on,
it's altar of intention can be abused.
Ferried on the words of law perused,
a contract of Biblical pursuit is used.

I cannot constrain in chain thus love,
something of sacred dispute is gone.
Laws of man transmute what's above,
into devil's commerce with the known.

Speak not to me, in a same breath,
such matter's of heart take new lease.
Keep the divine above such breadth,
of that notion, passion's own release.

When I say, "I love you", take at face,
no entanglement of a subtle despair.
Beyond words of man, I seek a trace,
of heart's own language to be aware!
