capital letter Love

Clayton Rosa

millions fell in,
love?!
very unlikely as the purest sorcery would outmaneuver
man's untimely love for,
self,
'cause selfish urges urge him to nurse
self-inflicted wounds.
no, he was not suicidal - just unaware,
that there's,
love. love. love. love. love. love. love.
love. love. or, Love?
logic mathematically gives you a tenth
of a chance, to Love,
still
stale minds squander hearts for momentary,
feeling,
feeling happy. until, that slight-okay type of love
falls an inch, short,
of expecations, because the expected outcome
outruns,
skeptical doubts.
for Love and sanity, i urge and exclaim
that you, my reader, who insists on
faithful syllables in an unlikely occurrence,
swim with the vowels against the currents,
because currently,
love just isn't enough anymore.
so why not Love, instead - huh?
