Love

Love

A Poem by John Anderson

Words capture it not.
It consumes the universe.
It’s the colour of tangible invisibility.

Indeed, it’s the heart of matrimony,
An infinite covenant.
I ponder upon its dimensions, unable
To fathom its design.

It’s both concrete and abstract.
It rescues. And it destroys. It’s both
A blessing and a curse.
Nevertheless, it’s a necessity.

It cures and heals wounds of the
Spirit. It’s as mystical as the
Morning Star, as controversial as
Scriptures.

Once affected, it overwhelms the
System, tugging at one’s intentions,
Moving the soul through various
Emotions.

Wherefore, one becomes doleful,
Saturated with mixed-feelings.

It intrudes upon thoughts, hijacking
One’s psyche.

But if it unravels favourably, it sets
Lovers on high, mesmerizing
Existence, where nothing but love
Floods the senses.

It is the genuine more of life even though it could destroy every cell in the heart.

i like how you capture the essense of love while inferring the absolute truth of it.

poets have tried forever...but even our words can never really capture the true essence of love...

it is indescribable.

"But if it unravels favourably, it sets
Lovers on high, mesmerizing
Existence, where nothing but love
Floods the senses."
Amazing thoughts and emotion in the words. I like the above lines. Love make us feel like a king and pauper at the same time. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
