l o v e

love comes from the vast space,

the ever-expanding sky,

the infinite universe

love is the element

that you never see

on the charts

love is a poisonous gas

that portrudes from dying stars

love makes its way

into the oxygen,

affecting unsuspecting victims

nobody is safe

from the toxins

love is as old

as the first living thing

as the first beating heart

as the first “I love you”

love is not meant to be understood

love is not a human concept

love is beyond mere earth

love comes from

everything and anything;

as infinite and impure as the universe itself,

as old as the first dying star
