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.
