Is love a force like gravity? If so, does it requires consciousness to be
Are there different levels of love,one for oneself, family, mankind and all above?
For each thing according to its capacity, it's not limited only to humanity
It's action, not words, that prove this emotion, sacrifice is how we measure one's devotion
Sometimes, love's intent can be missed, does it have to be seen to exist?
Sometimes greater than laying down one's life, is the penalty of being thought the cause of strife
To take others misplaced violence and then, just suffer in silence over again
To take, in our heart, the bullet of blame and wear the thorny crown of shame
Keeping in secret our oblation, so as not to create further devastation
Forever a villain in our own grave, not understood by those we save
It seems that one thing for certain is true, love is valuing something else more than you

Such excellent words and thoughts about the altruism of love, not of necessity or coercion but of value and esteem. Thanks Soren!
Thank you crypticbard for your reading and valued comment. Love in the English language is such a vague term, all encompassing, if you would. It seems to be the center of a great deal of poetry, literature and cinema. It varies from mush to tear jerking altruism but no definition adequately defines it.
