   Love Is

Love is such a fickle thing
It can be soft as a feather
Or have a bee-like sting.
It can soar you to heights
Hang your heart on a star
Drop you down to your knees,
Mock your tears from afar.
Love is also a fragile thing
It needs special care -
Your constant understanding.
Your sleep might be disrupted
Your appetite seem strange
Often fever is detected
Emotions fight with change.
But if you can be patient
Allow life's dice to roll,
Love can be a blessed thing
For love can touch your soul.

*sigh* your words tell the perfect beauty that is love. You have done so incredibly well. I pray you will always be able to view love in this magical way. The magic of love is what it makes it so worth seeking out. BRAVO!!!

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.
