Love reinvented
Love never asking why
Why do I love you
Why do you love me
Let me count the ways
I love you because
You love me first
Those words are deleted
Love never asking what
What shall I get
From loving you
And what will you get
From loving me
Those words so selfish
Should be obliterated
Love never asking when
I will love you when
You have a mansion
You will love me when
I get my divorce
These words so egoistic
Should never be born
Love never asking why
Why do you do that?
If you love me you won’t
Why should I love you?
Why should I care?
These are even worse
They nip love in the bud
How would I reinvent Love
Love without wanting reciprocation
Love without selfish motives
Love without coveting gains
Love to give to offer to sacrifice
Pure Love for fellow humans
See beauty in the ugliest face
See splendor in God’s Creation
Go to Love
Instead of Go to War
Love and Peace
World Brotherhood

You have painted a wonderful image
of an IDEAL love...I like this quote
**************************************
Love never asking what
What shall I get
From loving you
**************************************
Unfortunately this is not so...there are
motives to love....wealth, status, and
other agendas...long list...that get in the way
A beautiful poem

Too bad it isn't like this.

To love without expectation is a nice thought, if the other person can truly do the same. If they can love you the way you love them. Unfortunatly, people are selfish and all this leads to is a one sided relationship.
Nicely written fantasy though.
You never disappoint. :)
