Book Of Love Poem by Kevin Mireles

Suddenly her words make a lot of sense.
Life is about dollars and cents.
Yet it doesn't make sense
when your living life senseless
with no common sense.

Can you catch the scent of success
creeping up behind you?
Or is it failure? A stench more familiar.
You have to earn a million or you ain't got
no self-respect, no prestige in life.

Ladies, you gotta wrap your minds
around the fact that the true value of a man
isn't in what he has,
but what he can make from nothing.
Can't you see? He has to originate everything.

I want to see everyone happy
So let's bring a loving music into their lives
and let it spring from the ashes
like the phoenix sun.
Rising because it's never done.

Resurrection of the Christ,
spill the blood and taste it for years.
Baptism by fire,
endearment of reciprocated love.

Life can be hard
or as easy as you let it be,
so let us be.
Love isn't everything
but it can be
if you let it be
true and pure.

How do i know?
because the book of love
Told me so.
