Love is water
Lapping at the crust
That encapsulates our souls
Turning it to dust
That drifts away

Love is raindrops
Tip-tapping on the mind
Inviting you to open the door
And see the beauty
You may dare to find

Love is a housewife
Making her home in the heart
Leaving smiles in every corner—
The gifts she imparts
Changes the heart
Like nothing else can!

Love is water
Lapping at the crust
That encapsulates our souls
Turning it to dust
That drifts away
=======================

thats quite a powerful image and analogy...someone has inspired lovely things in your pen once again.
well done poet sir

No matter what the differences
No matter what the cost
When words become our weapons ...
All that's beautiful is lost.

Really leaves warm and fuzzys in you.  Great poem. Great analogies.  It's cool.

I asked God how much he loved me...
He said this much...
And streched out his arms and Died.
