CASUALTIES OF LOVE

 

True love presents many faces
Recognizing it takes many graces,
Even when presented, on a beautiful platter
We toss it away, choosing disaster
 
Intrinsically perplexing, thoughts of love prevail
Analyzing every minute detail,
Allowing the clutter, to magnify
Inevitably chaos will multiply
 
Casualties of love manifest itself
When we self-destruct our true self,
We are complex entities in our abilities
Elusive to us, are love’s intricacies
 
There are no compromises to love’s palate
Only truth and honesty, can it relate
 When true love departs our gate
Recognizing it, but often it’s too late!
