Love

The fuel of love is desire
The end result of it, temporary satisfaction
The spark that begins the wildfire of lust, is the complacency of the soul in guiding the heart.

What is the natural form of it? We've all professed it or identified it at least once in our lives. How many among us understand it?

Is love good or bad?

It has been known to influence a person to do things beyond the norm. Infusing the subject with the desire to please; the need to be needed. Anything would be done for the sakes of winning the heart of the one desired.

What good will that bring? What is a person in love working towards?

Trying hard as he/she could possibly do to seduce the intended heart and gain its trust and love. What happens after that?

What happens after that satisfaction from gaining that targeted love has faded and the fires of emotional highs has dimmed down to mere smouldering embers?

A love as temporary as bodily desires can never last long. Such a love can only be born by an unguided soul whose heart has been blinded by lust.

Then again, how many of us know of a kind of love that can truly stand the test of time?

What kind of love need it be to be able to hold such? Does such love come from a selfish need to please the self, or is it that mystical state of selflessness that some have been known to claim it to be?

What is love? Far too much of what we see of it is tainted beyond recognition.

What is it like in its purest?
