a poem originally by Richard Mawuli Kofi Atsyor

Can you behold someone you've not seen?
Can you hold someone without whom you've been?
Can you be truthful to someone you've not spoken to?
Will you trust someone you're yet to meet?
Will you be faithful to someone you barely know?
Can you be honest with someone you've not looked at?
Will you care for someone you're not closer to?
Will you believe in someone you don't consider?
Will you love someone you have no idea of?
Well..I say YES!
For me love is inevitable.

True Love

True love is persistent
Though it's helpless
Thought it is never forced,
True love is free flowing
True love is all glowing
True love comes in its own time

Though true love knows no boundary,
It is distinctive
True love fights it's true course
Yet it is never provocative
True love never gives up
Yet, for its own sake, it lets go
True love is instinctive
True love is truly timeless

True love is inarticulate
true love is incontestable
True love is indisputable
True love is indistinguishable
True love never gets fed up
True love does not diminish

True love is selfish
Yet it requires selflessness
True love is jealous
Yet it offers liberal protection
True love is unconditional
True love is never based on riches
Therefore when it's love,
It must be real
And it must be true..
