An Ode to Love
An Ode to Love
(A lone voice whispers)
Is Love
Like one
Finding a South Philippine Dwarf Kingfisher
One of the World's
Rarest birds
A much-welcome visitor
To see and treasure
Sunbathing in the sun
Or two
Does it sometimes
Fly high
Like an extraordinary Golden Eagle
Over all emotional
Physical or Spiritual
Battlefields
As it goes-to-war
With family
Friends
Religion or politics
For true love never
Yields
Or three
is it just like a form of
Fast Love
That just runs
Jumps out the door and hits the road
Looking for a new lascivious episode
After its heavy load
Explodes
When it's had its fun
And finally,
Which one have you experienced
Did love find you or betray you
Like Judas Iscariot?
