Love Construction
by Candace Armstrong

Is true love built on compassion
or what it takes to be kind
or merely a soul reaction?

It might be based on passing fashion,
imagination of the mind,
a biological reaction,

opportunities for passion,
family ties or vows that bind,
a gripping heartfelt reaction.

Where the source of strong attraction
pheromones might whisper to remind,
it's a mystery reaction.

Surely love is not a fiction
something we seek until we find
chest-swelling lasting reaction.

There may be quarrels or friction
deciding if a love is blind.
Is true love built on compassion
or merely a soul reaction?
