A Genuine Love

A Genuine Love 

I might not be able to define a true love

But I’m pretty sure a genuine love is not

A pure desire only for sexual satisfaction

Neither a certain escape hatch for solitude

Nor an inherent trait for a specific gender

Nor a rich article for business or beggary  

Nor an abstract chapter in a celestial book 

Nor a legally binding contract on a paper

Nor a spiritual ceremony in a holy temple

Nor an opportunistic gate for hitchhiking

Nor a deceptive departure from calamity         

Nor an eternal ride in an one-way avenue

Nor an enjoyable playground for truancy

Nor a legitimate bal masques for teasing

Nor a morally right coverage for adultery

Nor a fair base for slaying an innocent soul

Nor a lawful stage for destroying a destiny
