Pictures Of Love Poem by Long Tooth

Don't fall in love with your pictures of love
For the odds are that you are mistaken,
Thinking that she must be this thing or that
The more sure you are, more likely taken.
Her skin coloration, the language she speaks,
Don't build structure of dreams out of rubble
Strong or compliant, can't say from the start,
Expectations are sign you're in trouble.
Love's its own answer, it writes its own song,
And its breadth is beyond vision's limits,
Deeper than human emotion, LOVE IS,
Paradise only found in its climates.
Newfound creation as God's Bliss evolves,
Endless surprise that all mystery solves.
