Underprized.
Love, the underprized eternal God-word
has become today
mostly outmoded.
Alteration stains its disguised state, for
love, absurdly changed to shadows
has become pretence
and been coroded.
Masquerading as some trait of worth,
love lies weakened and is nowhere
special, seen by some
as almost inept.
Left unnurtured, this thing called love
just withers further, doubt invades,
and its power fades
to mere senselessness.
Desecration of a word turned usurper,
love so deteriorates that users
agree this love is of
no consequence,
just an emotion,
unfelt thus demeaned.
Once confessed love needs constancy,
otherwise as with any mistook
God-word, compromised
love may become
seen as surreal.
Yet who believes needs to look closer
to view its deep meaning.

A fine write. I forgot the earthquake sometimes at Easter - Matthew's Gospel. Dramatic! Maybe that's how the stone did get rolled away. God working through 'natural' means. But a deep and thoughtful write.
I agree!
Thanks for caring and sharing about "The Love of God" especially at EASTER ! God's Love is AGAPE LOVE ~ It is unconditional and everlasting and freely available to all who reach out to him ! God Loved us so so much that he gave ~ the most precious thing He had to redeem us ~ JESUS ~ his blessed Son ~ AMEN Yours B.
Good write, Easter is so meaningful as Jesus love abounds from his rising.
