regardless of all folly/beautifying melancholy

love is utilitarian
stable, very forgiving
nullifying folly
intelligently
for the sake of the long term
but for idiots
love is passionate
chaotic, scaring
idiotically
beautifying melancholy
with a purpose
of a rather irrational variety
and a short term nature
something special
that makes you come
harder
like an animal
spectacularly
   irrationally
  stupidly
    destructively
      irreversibly
like an animal
regardless of all folly
the nature
   of moving forward
      with another
         regardless
           that is love
it's very simple
crazy simple
yet endlessly complex
and constantly conveniently forgotten
no matter your intelligence  
    that trap is still. . . laid for everyone of us
      that very predictable outcome
in The End
(we all get herpes)

"but for idiots

I couldn't help chuckling so loud in the office and distract everybody after reading this line in the complete context. Then you tickled me again with this;

"of a rather irrational variety

How true! :)

I'm glad I could give you a chuckle. And I'm always happy to know I'm responsible for any kind of distraction. I live to distract people, preferably strangers and for no real reason.

All smitten by it once will say yes to your work. Which line to appreciate is difficult to say here.
yet I will try
"it's very simple
crazy simple
yet endlessly complex"

Keep writing!

You speak your mind strangely. I'm glad you said yes to my work. It's not so bad if you read it closely.

How could someone not love a poem that ends like that? About love of all things.

[Davidgeo]

Herpes is a tremendous test of love. Thanks for enjoying my crazy words.

good way of viewing love. it's both idiotic and intelligent. some see it as just one thing, but it affects us in both ways. also enjoyed the ending greatly.

Herpes are almost always funny. Almost always.
