Love is a command

-
beyond the emotion, beyond the body
beyond my mind's choice, or what we once thought
is the only place on which I can stand
beyond it all, love is a command

patience, kindness, suffering long
only obedience breeds these qualities
no rudeness, no envy, no record of wrongs
only obedience creates possibilities

anger which does not come easy
celebration in the revealing of truth
preserving when everything ceases
after the fading thrills of youth

compassion, adoration; things i feel
but the task of love remains to be done
empathy, desire; these are real
only on love's command will they be won

beyond the emotion, beyond the body
beyond my mind's choice, or what we once thought
s the only place on which I can stand
beyond it all, love is a command
