Love is
My lover's eyes, my spirit's wine
my heart's eternal nourishment
Love is
A poet's elation, an artist's revelation
a musicians inspiration
Love is
A god, crushing mortal bones
A violet, indigo in soft twilight
A storm, raging violence
in the night
Love is
The sacred shrine in the heart of a child
Adored by a merciful mother
Love is
The gentle smile on the lips of beauty
The wrinkled face of old woman whose eyes
shine like a girl's
Love is
The fragile flower that looks up high to see the light
and never down at its own shadow
Love is not
Enticed by gifts
Chased by poverty
Proven by jealousy
Discouraged by parting
Love is
Ice and fire
Cold and flame
One sword, two blades
cutting, and healing again
Love is
The price we pay in pain now
For the joy we felt then
and the price we'd gladly pay again
Love is
Never contained by words
not even these.
