Give None To Love
Give none to love, its toxic disarming charm;
obey your mind not your heart;
my dear family and kindred spirit friends;
Nothing refused to love is
wing unspent.
Let your heart go free,
beyond the far horizon,
the abyss of the brain.
Enduring fire,
love is a fire that burns,
everything on its path,
good flame rising to the sky,
requiring courage to
dodge the smoke, the bold master
dictating to follow with untold intent.
Give none to love, hear me, its
demons stealing all grace, unhinged
from logic, unmade by reason.
Let it brag about its scope, the cry
of the beloved, diving into your dream,
the vague promise of salvation, obey
your reason, pity your life, and give none
to love -- one who fractures all deserves
no remorse at all.
But walk freely in museum of love, gingerly
on its bundle of broken hearts littering
its ground.
