Love's equation

 

Love is simply a natural need,

A pleasant sweet-sour greed,

It’s as much the need to take

as is the need to give,--

A sizzling seesaw of give and take

that excitingly shake

our life’s shape

and repackage it

with a new drape,

We have the need

to spread the seed

and fit in humanity’s creed,

We have a need

to beat our fears

with bitter-sweet tears.

 

We are missing

many things in us

and we need those things

from that sweet someone,

Take it with a right

without judgmental blight,

We also need to give

something that we have,

Give without feeling as a donor,

This give-take is

above the feeling of indebtedness,

Giving here is equal to taking,--

An accounts equation

of the laws of soul,

Giving as good as taking,

We are joyful to give

and equally happy to take.
