“Love Begins With Me”

(The Essence Of Love)

Love: You aren’t an irritant, not a moron,
don’t take but give, don’t frustrate people;
you are perfect because you’re top priority,
and you’re the cradle of my aims/objectives
and my ambition because you’re not
learned in dejection, not a symbol of solitude,
and can’t be showcased in despondency.

Love: You are the foundation of the world.
I could own all the world’s properties,
they’re not the essence of love, but
how much I give others of myself,
is my sole responsibility here on earth.

Love: You requires time, energy and attention.
I love two people on earth: The immortal & the mortal;
not writing, football, studying and co.,
because you’re the greatest bequeath.

Love: You’re a cosmic culture summed up in me;
no matter how I try to hate, circumstances of
hate can’t surmount love.
