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.
