If It Is Love Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

A love unrestricted,
If it is love as one says it is...
Does not await to accomodate.
If there as it is.
To give unconditionally,
Like none other to a lover loved.
If it is love as one says it is...given.

Love seeking time to accomodate,
Another kept waiting to appreciate it...
Is not love at all.
But a version of it expected to be accepted.
Whenever it is there to give.
With a sharing done that is effective.
If it is love as one says it is. If it is.

And without it being announced,
As an obligation to pronounce it...
To be a love devoted.
When a love that is given and detected,
And understood by a heart freed...
Of all doubt and suspicion.
If it is love as one says it is? It is.
