THE POWER OF LOVE


No rope or cable can hold so tight
What love can do with twine.
No kiss can taste so bittersweet,
As the one which captures our mind.

The first sign of love is the last of wisdom
As eager hearts fulfill desire.
Love is just a staple of life,
Though heaven sparks the fire.

Heaven knows no rage like love,
Once to hatred it has turned.
How wise are we who are such fools,
Who forget the lessons we've learned.

Love, indeed, descends from heaven,
Like a shooting star across the sky.
Love sometimes stirs the dust,
'Till tears fall free from the eye.

God must have loved people in love
Or he wouldn't have made so many.
Those who claim it's a mental disease
Have never been loved by any.

Love is stronger than life itself,
And jealousy more cruel than the grave.
Men and women have loved one another,
Since they spent their nights in a cave.

When the hands of love,
Touch the strings of souls,
There’ll be babies on the way.
That's the basic rules of life;
No matter what games we play

Like the flowers in the fields,
We shed our shields,
To be warmed by the sun.
We live our lives the best we can
Till death catches us on the run.

"The first sign of love is the last of wisdom" ...
enough said, this is a perfect analogy
