What is Love?

What is Love?

(A poem by Sal Godoij.)

 

 

"What's love?" She asked me while fixing her eyes on my lips

As if the answer she expected were a trick of the tongue.

 

I embraced her tightly, kissed her softly

Sweetly caressed her face, and she sighed

 

"Oh, honey," I whispered in her ear. "Love is this moment."

 

Yes. Love is the moment that shakes our hearts

Or clouds our reason

Love can mist up our eyes, or brighten them with a spark

And it's never static

Love finds its course no matter the obstacles

Like water does

 

It adapts

It may become a moment of glory

Like this moment, honey

Or it may become a scarred heart.

 

Love can be a rose or the crystal vase that holds it

If a rose, there is fragrance in it, softness in its petals

And we sigh.

But it can also show its thorns, sharp, hurting

And we bleed.

If love is the crystal vase, it can be delicate and fragile

And may fall and shatter into one and a thousand pieces

And we cry.

 

Ah! Love has no time, honey, it's timeless

It can live a second, or an eternity

And it can be physical, or a dream

Or it can just be a constant echo in our hearts.
