A Warning On The Side Of Love "Love Can Only Support Up To ________ Persons" Poem by Raj Dronamraju

Collapsed companionship, the intensity dissipates
Dilution of resources and what the heart emits
Lessening of focus, out of focus - what is the opposite of adjust?

Too many would be recipients for the amount of available affection
This amount is not inexhaustible nor is it infinite
The well hosts all the neighbors and eventually goes dry

The package is your innate understanding on what it means to give to another person
The plural try to shove multiple straws in your drink
The carton has highlighted caution with yellow shading

The smaller circle burns warmly and covers all
A swinging misshapen design leaves them malnourished, some corners fixed in glaring illumination while others suffocate in fetid shadow

The forfeit of intimacy, forever or for the moment people who live in naked houses
They always seem to have some kind of physical defect
Elsewhere, beautiful swan-like creatures drape themselves in the privacy of less people per square mile
