To Define Love

Written on 8-4-11

Love is deep
Deeper than any crevice
Any hole that has been dug
Than any pore upon thy skin

It is the highest your life can be
Higher than any mountain peak
Than any star in the sky

Love is an emotion of the mind
Yes, both of them feel it
But it is just a label of feelings
It's just a word
But a very powerful one at that

Saying, "I love you" can start and end many things
Too early, it could blow out the candle
Too late, one might think it was never really there
But there is never and always a right time for love

One may think love is the words of weakness
It pulls them in, and then slowly devours life
And then breaks...
Shattering on the ground
Mixed with tears and moans of sorrow

Then another might think that love is strength
The stitches of a relationship
But even stitchwork comes undone
No matter how well the seamstress

Love comes to grow old and die out
To pour water on a forest fire of emotions
And to be left in the dark, alone

But then another comes along
And this one is good
Stable, honest, witty, strong
And then that word come in
"Love"
Deep, passionately, close-holding love

And then two souls lost again
Lost in theirs eyes
Their lives
Their hearts

There is no pain, but passion
Bound so tightly, it will never fall apart
Even in a bed of death, the candle wax melts
To the heat of an everlasting flame

Never to be put out
Even after the souls depart from what is called life
But love is truely living
It lives on into the night
And then day

Love has its ways of coming and going
But then it will find a home
In the breath of two
And it will settle down
And deem their lives its own.
