love is a complicated business | poem

just a poet

love is acceptance, of essence

a fresh look at known subject

an understanding, it’s risky business.

to feel love is to catch a falling star—

or knife.

the wait with other patients

for a cure that does not exist

is also love.
-

love is poetry—

a soft kiss, unexpected.

being stubborn about who is right

and wrong

is love, too.

Nina Simone
