Seed of Love
I sow in a heart
Some take it for granted
Neglect to nurture it
It withers and fades away

Some create eternal love stories
Threaded with commitment and trust
That braved all storm
Crossed all borders
Climbed mountains
Sailed all seas
Just to keep it growing and glowing
To live contended lives
Rich in love

Love is for the brave
One to face the enemy
Defy all man-made hurdles

But today's reality is
Man has no time
Life is a fast-paced ride
Love is left behind
Patience a virtue man lacks

Infatuation is my clone
A product of man's imagination
I have witnessed
Some fall prey to the imposter

Instant gratification
Super looks
Is the new definition of love
Pick, taste, throw
New formula to test love

My treasure they ignore
Walk the other way
Self justify their actions

Does mankind deserve me
Or do I deserve their callousness?
Today I sit and ponder

I am cupid
God of love
Celebrated for a day
Then forgotten
