Who has seen love?
I haven't,
neither have you.
That's not to say
love doesn't exist.
It's the twinkle of an eye,
a coquettish smile
of a comely lass.
Love is an email you didn't
think you'd get Friday night
when other things were thought
to have pushed it aside.
Love is a gentle touch
and a smile to cement it.
Love is invisible,
can't be seen,
but it's the most powerful
thing we have going for us.
Even hate cannot touch it for
emotional fortitude.

Love is you and I, sha . . .

That kind of contact can coat your whole weekend with smiles, can't it? I like this look at love very much!

Yep, that mail inclusion was the key to the whole poem, glad you picked up on it, suthern, and thank you.
