Love folly
If love be egoism, I will not be a lover.
Better then to step aside and let the egoists
in senseless folly fight it out among themselves –
I will have none of it. That love is false
that boosts the ego into a baloon of lies
that has to burst and vanish into nothing
as a blown-up rag in shreds and good for nothing,
like a most deplorable pathetic fiasco
just to throw away into the garbage.
True love is a selfless self-effacing angel
never seen and working hard
invisibly from underground
appearing only through her work results
that must remain a joy forever for its beauty
if it only is conducted honestly
in true sincerity of love.
If rivals, fighters and psychotic passion drivers
think they deal with love
and blame their love for their psychotic business,
they are just deceivers of themselves
and have to learn the hard way
that real lovers only win by losing all.
