Beauty Or Beast

Love is a graceful charm

grabs you gently by the arm

Slowly tugging you through space

Guiding you throughout your maze


Even falling the deepest pit

Love helps as it sees fit

Gazing up at the unnerving heights

Love will help you to take flight 


Love could be for the nation

Like brave, old Horatius

who stood atop the Tiber

Repelling waves of enemies alone with valour


Yet Love spawns hate

Love spawns war

Behind a lovely mahogany door


Is it Aphrodite or Venus

Cupid or Eros?

but i say its all

Love is universal and Love

Is the most ancient


Love uncovers the deepest secrets 

The darkest fears

Love has no mercy 

No way to fight

No way to conquer


Psyche was damned 

For Love

Pasiphaë suffered

For Love


Love is cruel 

Yet Love is kind


Will Love be a comforting Spring breeze

Or a painful Winter freeze?
