Love is light bathed warm and sweet
Where nothing resides but calm and heat
Love is filling the darkest night
Where shadows fade behind the light
Love is comfort from the pain
Hiding within us profound and vain
Love is removing expectant scope
And in its place acceptance and hope
Love is arousal deep and pure
Submission and surrender becoming the law
Love is a gift of joy so rare
Precious and generous and filled with care
Love is the courage to accept the self
Allowing another to share in your wealth
Love is exploited by greed and gain
Another’s hurt inflicting the pain
Love is fragile, delicate, raw
Easily extinguished by the slightest flaw
Love is destruction of walls we build
Melting down til they are killed
Love is freedom from the dark
Connecting, growing, expanding, marked
Love is the secret if only you knew
That I give this gift of love to YOU.
