Love can come from the dry winter dust,
the winds of autumn, the blossoms of spring,
or from the thrust of a summer heat wave.

It can be borne on a leaf in fall from a tree,
come with the rain, be passed from a dream,
or dropped from the clouds on an overcast day.

It can escape from a tear, jump from a smile,
imprint itself with the touch of a hand,
or simply re-seed from memory.

Love can be, it simply can be,
but it chooses the time and the place
to be … meaningful!

I think you`ve lost essence of love here, honestly, love is more like this:

"In every particle, there is a wish for intoxication, to go mad with verses, warmth and breath."

Thank you all for the read.  I must have been mentally absent to not have acknowledged sooner.  Thank you, jo, for bringing this up again and allowing me to do so now.  Yes, sometimes it is most decidedly not at our choosing.
