Love is .....

Love 1


Love, a many splendid thing?
Tis this of which great poets sing.
What else can so inspire a fool
with whispered words a heart to rule.
Would the world a better place,
without this love our pulse to race?
Or would it leave us in despair,
knowing that none did care?

I think I'll take this love with all its pain,
for while there's loss, still more to gain!

Love 2


Love, to miss him when he isn't there,
to know his faults and yet not care,
to be yourself without a fear,
knowing he is always near.
To have his children, be his wife,
to put on hold your own life.
To trust your life in another's hands,
knowing fully that he understands.

A simple view to a complex word,
my simple meaning seems quite absurd,
there is no way I can explain,
the depths of love, the joy, the pain!

... so maybe, I should abstain?
