WHAT IS LOVE
Is it a passing fever of the body?
Which, like a hunger can be satisfied
Only to return again
A million times stronger
Under the guise of love.
Is it a power over the mind?
Tentacles that creep upon the innocent
An insidious phantom
Stealing unseen and unsuspected
Upon the willing victim
Sucking out lifes blood
Sapping the will
Under the guise of love.
So what is love?
To me it is a simple thing
Tender as a petal
Of a camellia or a rose
Yet strong as the roots
Of a weeping willow tree
Love is truth and
Love unadorned is
What I give to you.
