Love is conditioned
Love for one is in proportion
To the influence you wield.
Concern for one is in proportion
To the identity you have.
Respect for one is in proportion
To the trust you have.
Don’t expect more than the due.

Love’s intensity
You love some, not all.
Love of them is not in same scale.
The intensity of love
Is directly in proportion
To the influence you wield on them.

At my twenty my mother had looked old.
Women that age in my fifty excite.
Norms for acceptability of women
Expand in proportion to man’s aging

Neither in proportion to,
Nor bound by, the care they show
Or the virtues they possess.
