"Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself. Love possesses not nor would it be possessed; For love is sufficient unto love. And think not you can direct the course of love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course. Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself." -Kahill Gibran

SIJO poem is a traditional Korean poetic form related to haiku and tanka. Traditionally, a Sijo is comprised of 44-46 syllables OR LESS. Originally intended as songs, sijo can be romantic, metaphysical, reflection, or spiritual themes.
