Love Is Real

Love, Love alone can kill what seemed dead,
The frozen snake of passion. Love alone
By tearful prayers and fiery longing fed,
Reveals a knowledge schools have never known.

Any stone heart can be melted with love. Only love can melt your hardness. Only love can keep you porous.

Respect creates distance between you and the other. Love bridges the distance between you and the other. Only because people themselves have not experienced love, do they give respect as the rule of acceptable behavior. Respect is easier but not real. Love might be difficult only because not many know how to go about it, but it is real. With love, respect is automatic and authentic. With pure respect, the appearance of love is forced and may never be authentic.
