Love Poems

I know you ponder the meaning of it

Why it sends butterflies through your heart

Fluttering with glee and amazement

You think it is love,

But it is not...



When you hold hands with him

And feel the feeling of enrapture

When you are young

And want to lose your gift

You think it is love,

But it is not...



Ignorance is what you live for

Your world revolves around every breath

Emitting from his soft lips

You think it is love,

But it is not...



Love is like two willow trees upon a river,

Each bending over to touch

To sip of the water of life

And let their branches intermingle



Love is like the oxygen that fuels the fire,

As infinite as the flame in open wind

Dancing with warmth and song



Love is the beating of your heart at night,

The comfort--

And rising and falling of your chest

It is that solitary moment when all seems right,

And the world dissappears



It is you,

And him,

In one moment,

Together.



The world may be crumbling,

Screaming surrounding you--

But inside this room,

Inside these hearts--

Are one soul.



Love is endless,

And is not always those "butterflies,"

But it is truth and trust,

And pure warmth.



Suddenly then---

You think it is love,

And it is...
