O LOVE! I LOVE YOU FOR LOVE’S SAKE

 


O LOVE! I LOVE YOU FOR LOVE’S SAKE


Let me tell you, o my dear, sweet ‘Love’:

I love you for nothing but Love’s sake.

Nothing to fear about and nothing to freak.

Betrayed! You can desert me, my Dove.


Only a source of inspiration you are.

No entry for apprehension, my pretty dear

Neither a stain nor a stigma will you incur;

For Love’s sake I love you and will forever……


Yes, ‘A burning child dreads the fire.’:

Know this you very well, I and all

But, Love is past inflammation. Mire

Maligns, buffets and brings a nasty ‘Fall’.


A ‘Balm’ is my love; cool and and healing

Lo! It reigns in your heart, pulse and feeling.
