What is Love?A Poem by A
Love is beauty. Love is radiant. It shines from within What is within? Your every thought Your every wish Your every hope Your every dream Love gives you power. It can give you power over someone, or make you powerless. It can cause pain, but can lift you out of the darkest moments. Light and Love reflect upon us all. Love is trust. Love can be between a family, a couple, or a stranger. Love means you can’t do it alone. Surrender to others Surrender to yourself You don’t choose who you fall in love with Forced love is not true A fantasy brought into reality that can be destroyed is not true Maybe in a moment, love can be, but love is also holding out, waiting Love is patience Love is uncontrollable. You can feel love You can receive love Most important: You can give love Love cannot be described in words Writers, Poets, seek to find the true meaning, the complete definition of love, but have failed Love no words, can be seen? Love is the closest thing we have to magic. There are ultimate loves. Soul mates, Forevermore Destiny can be love, but not to be decided by someone other then Him He chooses, we believe we choose Do we? Love can be seen through embraces So in that sense Love can be felt in a gift or received Love is an emotion Still never controlled Love can be weakness and strength Love is the beginning of everything Love can sometimes be the end You can observe love When you see a father hold his newborn Or Two sisters dancing in the rain In that love it is “natural” and expected Whereas with a stranger Love flows naturally always, but is not expected Respect is expected Dignity is expected Love is not Love can come through respect and dignity Relation by blood allows a deep love within Relation with skin, is surface, and the most common Relation with soul, spirit, and heart, is rare, it is the deepest and most sought after Love can be within Love can be with another Love cannot be without A love where you would let go for the other’s safety, or for another’s choice Love is accepting that time is inevitable. Within time comes change. Change creates love as well. Love is following someone to the edge of the universe. Knowing you will never let go. And through change you will grow by falling more in love. Why is love described as “falling into” Does it happen out of thin air Believing and Dreaming creates Love Hopes and Wishes tend to it As it can be seen, felt, and heard Love is the root of everything Any existence, person, place, or thing, is Love. God made us each with love Humans make others with love Even in that it’s not always true Sex is often mistaken for love Body on Body is surface Surface is not deep or true It’s simply infatuation Love can be an act, but is different from “making love” Love comes from passion that is true. Passion comes from happiness Happiness with another, or with thyself is a creator of love Love is an indulgement Could it be possible that one can go through a lifetime and never really know love? Sad as it may seem, I believe it to be. The rarest and deepest love is not seen, is not felt, it is simply there in every action, every word, but is the root not the surface. Love can be sparks, but believing in that only can lead to be mistaken for love and infatuation. In that, I am still confused. Love is not looking into each other’s eyes, but looking out unto the world, unto what makes them happy. Laughter comes from love. Joy comes from love. Memories come from love. Love creates everything. Love can be found in a moment Built in a day Nurtured in a week True in a month Forever in a year But lost in an instant Why is something that is everything lost so easily? Love can exist with one person loving another who does love them in return But that kind of love does not last Because love needs to be nurtured by two people, unless it’s a “within” love “Falling in love” is like rain It hits you when you least expect it, but can be gone as soon as the sun comes out if not held onto Love can be held onto within a distance, within years of time Love can never be forgotten Love will always make you wonder If you had it, If you have it, Or If you ever will. Love is paint on a canvas It is art from the moment the paintbrush touches the white Even if the paint color is white on white Love can be invisible It can make you blind Love can also awaken you. Love is a final dance that never ends, making it a beginning of something new.
