Mature

Published by

on

Love commanded by the mind

is a conscious, calm love,

bound, devoted-

to face all hardships

come what may.

It doesn’t hang on kisses

since it is found on other various blisses.

And what about the soul?

This doubtless finds its way

to soothe itself in the security

of indisputable maturity.
