Love: a five letter word misused, abused and confused
In human interactions and interventions as a convenient label
To express any undefined emotions, unclear feelings, underlined foibles fused
With a labyrinth of brooks, crooks, spooks and cooks who aren't affable.
Love: a master word that serves purposes and pursuits
Waxed with desires to conquer, desires to satiate, desires to dominate
Desires to please, desires to tease, desires to pluck fruits
Without investing any labour but with intent to pollute and depreciate.
Love: an unspoken language, a shorthand for shifting goalposts
When a man driven to the brink of dizziness, loneliness and emptiness
Contrives to stalk potential partners claiming to arrange for costs
Of emotional uplift only to singe egos, unhinge superegos and to sow unhappiness.
Love: a panacea for emotional and delusional confusion
In which infatuation, deception, attraction vie for a pole position
In a heart so receptive, so emotive, so effective she offers no opposition
To scenarios in which she entwines with a suitor hoping to suffer no trust erosion.

I would like to translate this poem
Love is like coin with two side attached. It can be act as impetus that incite human being to go forth or be a fatal factor that cause sort of lethargy in torso of people. Very thanks dear John for sharing your poem. I really like it.
