What is Love?

Is love a dozen roses on Valentines Day

that we forget a week later once we've thrown them away

Is love the first kiss from the one we desire

that turns our stomachs, once the flame has expired

Is love an ancient story, that we're all longing for

of Cleopatra, Marc Antony, royal kingdoms and of war

Is it a Shakespearean tragedy like Romeo & Juliet

Or is tolerating your long term partner is good as it gets

Is it candy or jewelry or potion #9

Is it addictive or drug like, or is love just blind

Well we all have Ideals of what we think it entails

From Matches made in Heaven, online or from spells

But I think It's unconditional, Unselfish and kind

I higher way of being, an evolution of the mind

I think it's more than just trinkets or feelings that fade

It's more than an obsession or the great "love" we just made

It's life's precious commodity and is abundant those

with an benevolent spirit or a soul in repose.
