WHAT IS LOVE

So many people have not a clue what love really is about, and that is fine because they will never agree with me, and I will never with them.


Poem Artwork

What is love

that struggles to say just three words

that cannot hug

finds chastity absurd.

What is love

that insist one is right

cannot say sorry

before midnight.

What is love

that vexes with the tongue

beats another

into submission.

What is love

that hates morality

abandons their children

just to be free.

What is romance

it is saying I Love You

and just a little old fashioned

makes it last

many years through.

An excellent poetic piece on love. Well done!
Love - we can't see it but we would die for it.
They say God is love.
Well, perhaps He is....

You said a lot in these few words… With a lot of truth in it. As long as lust reigns free, it will be difficult to say, “I love you,” and mean it.
