What Is Love?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A black and white mind has images of love dancing about

Brings a breath of warm sunshine to sullen land

A spectrum of color splashs upon blank canvas

Fills a life with glorious array of wonderment

 

Does love last a brevity of time?

Or does it stick around?

An empty heart that has never felt love wants to know

What is love?

 

A wrath of a hand

Lips of hateful words

Evil eyes that despise what they see

A black and white world with no color

 

She looks around and see smiling faces

Laughter bubbling in the air

Hands embracing

Lips softly speaking, I love you

Is that love she wonders

 

A world of color filled with love seems out of reach

She lives in black and white

Watches as love colors every one but her

She is alone and confused

What is love?

Love is a compromise, a compromise to look past each others faults and see the good inside. Love is simply letting your heart see the world in a light that you feel in your soul. Love is letting go of the pain and hurt and allowing forgiveness to take it's place. Love is a whisper in the wind and a kiss blown to a friend. Love is an embrace of two hearts and gallantry in the ramparts. Love is a voice in your soul that says you are melting at the touch of another. Love is being willing to suffer threw indignity so that humility can blossom in the bosom.

This is perhaps the hardest question to answer. Next to, what is the meaning of life?

A very stirring and emotional write! Keep it up...!

Love in colour, how wonderfully you think of loves mystery.
Another lovely poem....bravo. :O)

[Searching 4 Serenity]

Well said. Quite simply, love is commitment, devotion, and submission.

Love in color
Try seeing it through calm eyes to see intimate hospitality.
Look at it through fierce eyes and see courageous protection.
Stare into enraged glares and crash into defense (WATCH OUT! That can become crazy)
View it with intelligent eyes and see understanding and reasoning.

A wonderful write. Lots of blue yearning in it

[An owl on the moon]

With something so powerful, so profound, so life changing, we do ask the questions... want to know more... feel deeper.. Your poetry both brings up those thoughts and colorful conclusions on a beautiful canvas.

[Don Shaw]

I LOVE IT , GREAT FLOW AND IMAGERY !

[Coyote Poetry]

The question of love. If I had the answer. I would tell the world. I believe we need to be kind and no negatives words. Love can break like a weak branch. I like the questions raised and the story in this poem. Than you for the excellent poem.

[Neva Flores Smith - Cha..]

sometimes i believe it is our job as poets to try and figure out the answer to this question, "What is love"/ You have penned these questions and ideas of what it may e wonderfully

[Wolf's Dark Song]

Very sad. When someone doesn't feel loved their whole existence can hurt.

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

Yes, for me it seems this writer is saying, tht no matter how many times we love, we never really know what it is, or why it has such an effect on us, well done, good read.
