Love's DNA (resequenced)

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!
