What is it to Love?

A poem wrought out of pent up emotion and longing.


Loves now past flash through my mind

People now gone to my heart I bind

Friends and family, strangers and foes

To all of them a simple question I pose

There's so many words we use every day

Each one unique in its own special way

But certain words we hold for a specific few

Those words would be the words "I love you"

Now listen to me close, my dear

Yes, quiet now, lend me your ear

I say these words quite often to you

But they mean something more, it's true

What is it to love? This is my thought

What is this strange emotion we've wrought?

The bond between two people; two lovers

Is something that overpowers all others

So to you, my sweet, I'll tell you this

Don't worry, it's not something you'll miss

I love you more than anything else in this world

Even more of myself with you I've unfurled

I've never seen myself this clearly

Even when I'm sore and weary

Just a word from you and you'll see a smile

Even if I was gloomy for a while

You are my star, my shining light

Laying in your arms makes everything right

Each night spent with you is sheer bliss

And believe me, my love, there's no lie in this!
