Why do people love the people they love?

How so brave, just handing hearts over.

How unwise to be the doe eyed dove.

But a fool in love, was the lover.

The one true nemesis of Spock.

Cause ceasing to exist in logic’s realm.

So the Consequence, in his mouth a sock.

Who will this fail to overwhelm?

An equation that I could never solve.

All around one human, have my world revolve?

Depend on a rocker that rocks a lot more than stop?

Why make a movie, if a good lot predicts it a flop?

Isn’t it prudent to think of these ramifications?

Then again(to quote a love struck sonneteer), isn’t being in love it’s only justification?
