Knowing Love Poem by Kassim Mohammed Ahmed

Our knowledge 'bout love is thwarted

all the judgement are darted



confused by what is paraded by the media, and

in movies, theories, creating a trend



but the feeling is relative, thus

to any one person in love collecting their facts



no one theory of love is by any stretch

point be-all, if by scrutiny put to test



see, true love is when lovers give their all, and give up all

knowing am yours, and you, my world



then the onus is yours and mine

to strive through and see all a sign



a test to pass it be good or evil

even as they come as a riddle



there are no rules

and those set by the dummies cant be true



for all humanity is made differently

acting and reacting variedly



but when I forgive before you ask

knowing you are all that I have



and you and I, is no mistake

unlike you bargain, and can change your mind in a trade



love is to make love work

laying all self-standards to rest



and not attempting to change them

but changing yourself to be with them



but attest to your love what you detest

and expect nothing more, though they may seek to amend



love is loving, and loving to love

to want to give everything you have



like everything without love is nothing

and nothing without love is everything



love is just how you love, that

one you love and not expect it back



they say it's mutual?

like some of stereotyped ritual



love is no appreciatory rite

when a one decides, then it's their self right



just love buddy

'tis a feeling, so lovely



'tis best when you will be yourself

and not be ruled by some rules that are set
