How Do I Define Love?
I’m led to describe the meaning of love;
how can feelings, be put in a word;
feelings and passions, come from above;
defining love seems rather absurd.
Modern life has reduced love to a cliché;
often expressed; when not meant;
many lovers, separate; nearly everyday;
all due to a failure of intent.
Love is perhaps the most elusive bond;
some don’t even know when it’s there;
many who claim love, are only fond;
and many others don’t even care.
Love is the ultimate pearl of great price;
the gift that keeps on living;
true love never gives too much advice;
but, love is always forgiving.
True love is gold; not yet discovered;
hidden in the bowels of the earth;
a perfect match; suddenly uncovered;
destined to be; from birth.
Eternal love is the pinnacle of life;
the only reason for living;
a perfect match conquers all strife;
all loves come by giving.
Physical love has so many limitations;
for it’s only our mind, we control;
love must grow in the heart’s foundations;
true love is the love of the soul.
