Love is Meant to Stumble

Derrick Puente

Love is meant to stumble
Sacrifice and grow
Suffocate your reasoning-
And vary like the wind
Infect your bones with energy
Your soul with lightnings' kiss
Powerful and magical
Endless in its gifts
One year the harvest multiplies
The next the great decrease
Bellows like and avalanche
That falls and will not cease
Come what may the hunger
Is impossibe to fill
So we take its heady throne
Its goodness and its ills
Nuture then your company
And they'll be proven true
Though love is meant to stumble-
Still. It will be renewed.
