This humble attempt at Poetry,

written as a review's comment,

is dedicated to my friend & esteemed

Poet Andre Emmanuel Bendavi ben-YEHU,

https://allpoetry.com/Andre_ben-YEHU

whose Poem, Love Rescues

(https://allpoetry.com/poem/16662995-Love-Rescues-by-Andre-ben-YEHU ),

truly inspired the Muse of this poetic endeavor




Though love is not god,

and god is assuredly not love,

as per lies of wise guys totally liars and never wise,

love is that glue that makes for relationships true,

provides wives true for men like me and you,

and holds this world together when in danger of flying apart,
as men so often forget that love is a gift and never an easy art,

never an art to be taken lightly,

but an art to be treasured, always ...


Love is, simply, above,

above all else and above all,

all to be desired, held, or had ...


Love stands alone and on its own ...


Love is that Primal inspiration's source of all,

all that is worth the living, and the dying, for ...


Without love, there is no Man,

no Mankind,

and no Human Race ...


Without love we cease to exist

-- and that without a trace ...

Love is a human condition.
As you say in your last five lines...without it, there is no man.
Love is disintegrating...does that mean the human race might be killing itself off?
Perhaps.
really good piece, Marve,
