Do Not Love me for a Reason - Poem

Do not love me for a reason:
Not because of captivation;
Not for the face crimson;
Because thou cannot stop transformation;
Mere body will turn to dust from skeleton.

Do not love me for a reason:
Not because of infatuation;
It can cause deception.
It causes frisson and hides the imperfection.

Do not love me for a reason:
Not because of the way I think or my opinion;
Not even because of our ideological comparison;
I may excuse thee, but remember, the mind may change too.
Then the feelings may no longer woo.

Do not love me for a reason:
Not out of commiseration;
Not out of commotion;
The circumstances will change,
Just like the changing season.

Do not love me for a reason:
But love me with the intuition.
It is the only correct mode of perception.
Love me completely now, not for a vision;
For the future may not arise unlike the sun.

Do not love me for a reason:
Love me like thou love thy family.
Love my soul, not the material lust.
Soul is only eternal;
Everything else will change and change is must.

Do not love me for a reason:
Not for a condition.
Love me only for the love's sake.
Do not try to possess me, do not try to imprison;
I promise, there will be no treason.
