Love is a river
ever changing as it flows...
and occassionally disembarks
from the path it once chose.
It bubbles and churns-
runs shallow and deep...
and some dry up
in the raging stillness of heat.

The currents move differently
through channels and pools,
and in the right dosage
refreshes and cools.

Love, unlike water
can't be bottled or sold.
It comes from the heart
and is NEVER cold.


This was written 2/9/2000 during my abnormal psych
class...coincidence? *grins* anyway. I wrote this for my beau (who is now my hubby) for Valentine's day, and because i was kinda thirsty.

I think that those were my favorites though! :}  Thanks for sharing!  --  Becka
