Love can be haunting
tugging
at every waking moment
nudging
ghosts and skeletons
to come out of closets.
Love is scary
and no witches brew,
human in masquerade costume,
evil spirit or midnight horror flick
can even the fright of
love is insidious
with its stupendous joy
and catastrophic hopes.
Love is itchy
contagious, full of disease
heartlessly scrounging
around for love
lurks
in wrong visages and places.
Love, the conqueror of all
can stop the rain, famine
and bring on pain.
When love calls, gotta go
to where the sun shines
because life is cold
and dreams are reality.
Love is precious water,
fine gold and ugly as a monster.
Love can be horrendous, foolish
and beautiful at once.

Love can be constant
bitter-sweet or momentous
