a kind of definition
Love is indefinable and strange,
a weird adventure of capricious risks
with everything at stake and nothing really to be won
except experience, which always is for good and worse;
and those who have enough experience
of the controversial kind and have found out
the traps and fallacies and vanities of human hearts
know all too well that love is just a dangerous attraction
to get burned and damaged by for life
with sometimes losses irrepairable
to keep on crying over for a lifetime sentence,
and reduce therefore their love's ambition
to the acquisition of a lasting friendship.
That's the best thing, actually, that can be gained by love,
a lasting ever more enriching and developing reward;
so if you really want true love and keep it,
just make sure to make your love's best friend
and then be constant in your love's ambition
to retain and cultivate that friendship.
