LOVE IS Love is beauty beyond the eye, Cirrus clouds adrift on the sky. A rainbow on your darkest day, A touch that tells you, "it's o.k." Invisible arms that keep you warm, That hold you tight amidst life's storm. A smile by the grace of dawn, The sweetest vision ever drawn. Fluttering heart, a gentle hand, A soul you know and understand. A wisp of dream, a priceless worth, Love is, truly, heaven on earth. Love is intrigue, love is romance. Love is a gliding moonlight dance. Love is compassion beyond need Love is within us all, a seed. Nurtured, it blooms, becomes a flower. A fragrance sweet, and yet a power. A strength you can rely upon, As soundless as the silver swan. Love is forgiving, understanding, Ne'er expecting, ne'er demanding. Love is patient, kind, and pure. Tantalizing and yet demure. A wish, a hope, a dream, a sigh, A shooting star across the sky An undying timeless endeavor For when found true, love is forever.

Michael-- a beautiful poem. I only hope that last line is untrue Jamie Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito. - Virgil. "Yield thou not to adversity, but press on the more bravely". |

Michael, Beautiful poetry here my friend. LW Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |
