Plutonic Love,,,A Sonnet
by mazHur


Plutus, did you give this ugly mental twist to love,
The twist which people call Plutonic love?
Shame on you if you disfigured love purposely
Shame on them who hide their faces in this fantastic cove.
Oh, how do people derogate this godly gift of living love
Oh, how they try to make it a contemptuous graded thing
Oh, how they try to outstretch a rose of its beauty and fragrance
Oh, how they make time-old wine taste un-intoxicating.
Love, pure love is an adjunct to the mode of procreation
Without love no man no woman would consent to conjoin
Teeth would be boll if not pressed, nuts pebbles if not cracked
Hearts without love will not sigh, souls will not calm purloin
Plutonic love is an absurdity, an unnatural variant of love
(Akin to that manic hermaphrodite called Platonic love )
Love, real love is that which exists betwixt a drake and his dove.
