Love Comes

Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind.
--Bertrand Russell

Love comes in different forms, shapes and sizes
And can fall on you in drizzles or in showers.
You can be trapped by love
Like a gold fish caught in a net.

But love is best when you are free to perch on any tree
And not like a bird kept in a cage
But like the dove left to fly wherever it chooses
From Trafalgar Square to Tinubu Square.

When love comes
You could be caught unawares
For love comes in different ways
And not always as your spirit sways.
