Love Construction

Is true love built on compassion

or what it takes to be kind

or merely a soul reaction?

It might be based on passing fashion,

imagination of the mind,

a biological reaction,

opportunities for passion,

family ties or vows that bind,

a gripping heart-felt reaction.

Where the source of strong attraction

pheromones might whisper to remind,

it’s a mystery reaction.

Surely love is not a fiction

something we seek until we find

chest-swelling lasting reaction.

There may be quarrels or friction

deciding if a love is blind.

Is true love built on compassion

or merely a soul reaction?
