Love is Priceless

by Nikhil Parekh
 


Stones are lackadaisically worthless,
Gutters are preposterously baseless,
Greed is invidiously senseless,
Depression is devastatingly meaningless,
Mania's are obsessively weightless,
Enmity is salaciously bottomless,
Traitors are treacherously groundless,
Stagnation is venomously valueless,
Diabolism is vindictively useless,
Manipulation is hideously profitless,
Emptiness is ominously fruitless,
Ghosts are disconcertingly hopeless,
Frigidity is inevitably hapless,
Boredom is lethally purposeless,
Death is despairingly motionless,
Cowardice is ludicrously skulless,
Infidelity is pathetically pointless,
Oceans are bountifully fathomless,
Lies are maliciously soundless,
Fantasies are unrelentingly boundless,
Tangible are rhapsodically countless,
Expressions are poignantly dateless,
Lechery is disastrously voiceless,
Beggars are ridiculously gutless,
Sleazy are bombastically strapless,
Adventurous are exhilaratingly shoeless,
Orphaned are deplorably houseless,
Benevolence is perennially timeless,
Murderers are laughably spineless,
Excitement is incomprehensibly numberless,
Awestruck are unbelievingly speechless,
Imprisoned are brutally expressionless,
Shadows are diminutively powerless,
Blood-thirsty are wholesomely artless,
Destinies are waveringly mapless,
Dare-devils are snobbishly wreckless,
Pragmatic are prudently cloudless,
Cursed are lamely childless,
Infants are perpetually faultless,
And love is immortally priceless.
