For Love. Poem

To blaze
to wink
to sin
to save
our little lives reveal
what matters most
what deeds we do for love

To burn
to cry
to sacrifice
to dwell
our little lives reveal
what matters most
what pain we take for love

To temper
to allow
to forget
to commit
our little lives reveal
what matters most
what joy we feel in love

To entreat
to bend
to swallow
to beg
our little lives reveal
what matters most
what self we lose for love

To give
to give
to give
our little lives reveal
what matters
is what we do for love
