Love
Life goes on, oblivious of our moods
Like the feeling of love, that envelops us unsought
For somebody or something to which we are besot
Love is a feeling that cannot be second guessed
But accepted, as a fact, both heartfelt and blessed
Love is unique, its one of a kind
Those who accept it say it is all in the mind
Those who do not, say love is an obsession
The urge to grab and gain posession
Whatever it is, it is real and heartfelt
It comes when it comes ,unbidden and unbeckoned
It's all embracing, encompassing, totally unreckoned
Love is both the giving and the taking
Often, the giver and taker, have their roles reversed
Some times a mere glance can satiate its thirst
But at others, it shows up in action, over the passing of time
As with mother's love over a life's long path, traversed
Or supporting a spouse in his journey into darkness
Where the mind ceases while lover's memories remain sublime
Love is a gift that God or Fate gives you
Love is the condition that both crushes and exults you
Love is the the thing we share, by being human
Allowing us to think of the other before self
And to act for others despite pain and and life's pelf
Love is self denying, while possesive love is oxymoronic
Love is the alpha and the omega of passion, that is mythic
Love thinks of the other and seeks to protect
Love is both for the giving and the taking
Love looks to the other and never forgets
Love has no demands, no expectations, no regrets
Love is sitting up for a sick child all the night through
Love is feeding the other the last crumb and starving
Love is protecting even if it means a fight
Love is spending a lifetime in loyalty all day and all night
Love is all that is good and life affirming
Love might be in the mind but is indeed out of sight !
Love is something that makes life worth living
Love is tenderness and is life uplifting
Love seeks not for self, but seeks for the other
Love is for loving, love is for sharing
Love is the essence of the human condition
It makes us not what we are but what we should be
In the final analysis it makes us reach for the stars
Love makes us whole and salves all of life's scars.
