The Perception Of Love Is A Divine Indulgence Poem by Anita Atina

The perception of love is divine

And often self serving


Does he love more, who freely lets a loved one fly away

Or he who builds a protective ring fence of gold and silver


Is love truly unselfish?

Or does it always hide the expectation of returns


In its myriad forms, between man-woman, mother-child,

Brother-sister, father-child

Is love an equitable exchange


Can one only give

And the other receive ever more


Is love balanced?

Or are there outer limits


Is divine love infinite?

Does our love mirror a divine indulgence!
