Love comes unexpectedly, The full-length version of the story Has both joy and pain, Boredom, lust, betrayal, glory, Anger, comfort, shame. It ends in grief, inevitably, Through death or separation, The harshness of the agony As strong as the relation. So why, then, love? And why persist In love long after passion Has gone its way? And why resist An urge one need not ration? The answer is in something more Than fantasy and pleasure -- A passion passion never saw, A hunger beyond measure; A longing for the One in one One longs for all one's life, And is love, yes, the same that binds A husband to a wife.
