Love's DNA (Resequenced)
by Tim Kavi
Infinite loves are bent
in the lasting helix
that becomes a model
of coded instructions
for the complexities
of yet more designs
in loves that speak
to another kind
of bonded pair
there in our love
is Nature's schooling
natural selection
destiny's not fooling
twisting purpose
there is no drifting
as variations mutate
and plans unfold
across populated history
for as long
as poems and songs
and novels and stories
have been told
there is the power
of love
to code itself and
rebuild itself
again and again
found when sought
this is the love
that flows
in the between
in the meeting
of person to person
the memories
of the whole
human race
that ancients knew
and sang about
wrote about
what scheme is this
what perchance to dream
as biology's revealing
of something much
deeper; is yet
discovered in some scheme
still destined
in the human heart's will
the code beats
to love; to say
to utter
beauty and true
words with power
that say:
I love you!
