Sonnet: Excessive Love Is Futile Poem by Dr John Celes

To love something too much could turn out bad,
For time decides the loss of many things;
When separations make a person mad,
Both peace of mind and heart can take on wings!

Attachment in excess could boomerang;
A bereft state cannot be lived at all;
Possessiveness could work like poison-fang,
Triggering person's defeat and downfall!

Better not to develop attachment much;
All states of life are not so permanent;
Much closeness can offset the magic touch,
As many things in life can cause a dent!

Don't love a thing in ways it doesn't deserve;
Love God alone with heart and mind and serve!
