Love Defined

What is love? we ask ourselves

An endless enigma, a puzzle of puzzles,

Some people search their whole lives for meaning

Others drown in it, losing their being.



Love is the vast ocean that overwhelms the heart

The ache we feel whenever we are apart,

It is the song that never ever will fade

Once heard by the maiden in love's sweet wake.



Love is the purest kiss of smiling fate

Upon the lips of the one who dreams and aches

To share oneself, in body, mind and soul,

It fills the void to make us whole.



Love is the magical essence that signifies

The reason for being, the reason for life,

With a single kiss, or touch or scent,

Your presence fills, there is no end.



Love is the pain that makes us break

With absence of being, unbearable ache,

The sweet temptation to look forward to,

While counting the seconds apart from you.



Love is the warm smile we keep inside,

Love is the dream that strengthens the mind,

Love is the mystery that makes us blind,

That is the essence of love defined.
