4. What we Crave in Love
What we crave in love
is often ellusive.
when asked, "why do you love him?"
we choke to answer.
then do so with cliches
or repeat the echoes
we hear from mother's grave
but seem never too sure.
 
A few silly love verses
will not suffice
love is too complex.
we need Freud and
every other cosmic theory
just to explain it
of course, we need not ponder
at all so long as we do it.
