Love Is

Don't roll your eyes at me. It's not clichee, but that wouldn't be the first time you heard that, huh?

 

                         Love is fiery red and gold

                                      yet cools the soul

 

                         Love is a golden ring

                                     shiny and new or antique and valuable

      

                         Love smells like fresh-baked brownies

                                     an irresistible urge to indulge

               

                         Love tastes like strawberry ice cream

                                     simple, but divine

 

                         Love sounds like the melody of two harps

                                     sounding in harmony and time

 

                         Love feels like a warm blanket

                                     a promise of safety

 

                         Love is

                                    Love

[East of Eden]

I can feel this writing, touch it, hear it, smell it, visualise it. It's love!

[Raja]

The metaphor of love is well described here. I like every inch of the poem. Yet the following lines make me feel so much, and thank you for that:

"Love tastes like strawberry ice cream

simple, but divine



Love sounds like the melody of two harps

sounding in harmony and time



Love feels like a warm blanket

a promise of safety"

Really Love is love ultimately; it is beyond definition.

Raja.
