The Absence of Love

Love is not accidental.

The instrumental use of love is detrimental. 

The common yet complex characteristic of someone to be complemental 

All becomes remiss

 

In the absence of love

 

Love lacks a sense of lust, 

The rusting crust of an empty shell of mistrust

That slowly withers away to dust leaving behind nothing but disgust.

“Love’s true kiss” often happens

 

In the absence of love

 

Love can not be found in apperception 

The misconception that a meaningless erection

leads to an insignificant conception

is a deception made 

 

In the absence of love. 

 

Love is not gifts, flowers, or familial relation.

It is not empathic speech or sexual stimulation.

There is a kinship between those who collectively struggle through trials and tribulation,

but love is so much more than this.

 

Love is the changing of life.

The total annihilation of strife.

The disembodiment of a friend in the creation of a wife.

Love is sacramental.

 

Love is nurturing a child.

Smiling while styling the bambino to be beguiled.

The debt of your upbringing, reconciled.

Love is parental.

 

Love is comforting those in need

Whether pleading with those who cry and bleed

Love is impeding the greed and extending the creed 

That love is transcendental

 

Love requires sequestration and transformation

Love has condition and domination

Love is the monotonous rendition of mindless replication 

Love has a gender, race, opinion and definition
