What is Love?

Love should be controlled by the mind and felt in the heart,
It should flow through your blood and enlighten your soul for a start.

Mutuality is what it should call towards,
And compassion should be its reward.

Love should unite anyone, anytime, anywhere,
For it's something which isn't cruel or wrong, but completely fair.

But beware, and be scared,
For do not be snared by its bright glare.

God has given love to you as a trial,
For it can sometimes be nasty and vile.

The only time it can be negative is when it's not acted upon in a permissible way,
So make sure when you fall in love, you don't follow the traditional high school cliche.

The next time your heart comes upto your throat,
Remember this advice so you don't choke.

Always know, hormones will rise, and affection won't compromise,
and feelings for him or her will not reside.

So now I advise, for you to revise,
Whether that girl or guy, for you would be wise?

Whatever the case, do not be haste,
And ask around so your decision does not go to waste.

If not anything, then upon the last line of this poem you should reflect,
Never let your changing heart conquer your sound intellect.
