Love



All I need

Is the deep-seated

Heartfelt love


The love that is

Rich and pure

Abundant and warm

The love that

Pours from the heavens

And sprouts from the ground

 

It is embedded

In my DNA

It functions my systems

To live and work

On an accord

Of storge and agape

 

To love my God

To love my kin

To love my fellow man

To love the things

That are cradled

In my heart

 

Without this love

My systems stop

My DNA mutates

Into a nothingness

Which holds an absence

Of something needed

Of something lost
