In love, you yield and you're miserable. <br />In love, you die many times and you're pleased. <br />In love, you obey. <br />In love, the forbidden is abolished <br />Likewise, the despicable <br />The smutty, the interdicted. <br /> <br />There are no alliances in love, <br />No choices. <br />Love is a lethal command. <br />So give way to the time of its conquest <br />And take a path <br />Prepared by your loss. <br />On the basis of experience, I tell you that in <br />my youth I loved a blond slave girl of mine, <br />and since then I have never deemed any <br />black-haired woman beautiful, and my father <br />was much the same.<br /><br />Mohammed Bennis<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/love-is-supreme-ruler/
