Love can make us
Finer than we are
True love
Can make us
Finer still
“Love is patient
Love is kind”
They tell us
But they do not
Tell us
That true love
Can burn away
The blinders from
The lover’s eyes
Hearts and souls
Filled up with love
Crowd out all
Baser feelings
As the Light
Destroys the
Darkness
In its loving
Way
The only force
In all the Universe
Against which
There is no
Defense
Is Love
