    Forever Young

    Love forever remains the final authority!
    Love remains the ultimate authenticity!
    Love never bothers, with distinctions!
    Love prefers to give unconditionally!
    Love stinks when so few ever share!
    Love is quite often indiscriminate!
    Love can never be bought or sold!
    Love happens behind the bushes!
    Love makes the world go round!
    Love commands, great heights!
    Love abides our lower depths!
    Love, knowing no boundaries!
    Love, knows merely one goal!
    Love reaches out from within!
    Love blossoms forever young!

    Love leaves us all speechless!
    Love is life, but life is not love!
    Love is sexy but sex is not love!
    Love is you but you are not love!
    Love is joyous but joy is not love!
    Love is more but more is not love!
    Love acts, but actions are not love!
    Love abides but abiding is not love!
    Love is humble, but less is not love!

    Love is two, but unions are not love!
    Love is timeless but time is not love!
    Love listens, but to listen is not love!
    Love is wealth but riches are not love!
    Love is fun but excitement is not love!

    Love touches but touching is not love!
    Love is sweet, but sweets are not love!
    Love is fun, but excitement is not love!
    Love is plentiful but bounty is not love!

    Love tempts, but temptation is not love!
    Love is simple but simplicity is not love!
    Love is giving, but generosity is not love!
    Love is surprising but novelty is not love!
    Love is flattering but to flatter is not love!
    Love is engaging but attention is not love!
    Love goes beyond, but beyond is not love!

    Love is freedom, but being free is not love!
    Love is all you need but needs are not love!
    Love is enduring but endurance is not love!
    Love is content but contentment is not love!
    Love is aware but consciousness is not love!
    Love commands, but to command is not love!
    For Love remains the One Greater Exultant Truth!
    Love is what inspires us all, to live out our dreams!
    Without a real future, all our past, becomes but dust!
    In bending the most, the tiniest heart bends time itself!
    Harmoniously embracing every possible past and future,
    For neither anyone's love nor their harmony act nor reason,
    While love springs eternal within the human heart, forever young.

    This poem is a great example of the kinds of subjects I'm hoping to cover in unusual ways. Notice the yin-yang dynamics make the poem read almost like a Sesame Street song, and that's deliberate, as a way to bridge both the infantile and adult, using an almost musical timing and all the bullshit jokes imaginable. I do believe, the line, "In bending the most, the tiniest heart bends time itself" is quite original and fits the theme really well.
