Love is a song
Deep within your heart
Love is a feeling
Of never being apart
Love is a gentle breeze
At times a burning fire
Love is a paradox
It often sprouts desire
Love is our greatest need
It is our salvation
Love turned upside down
Brings instead damnation
Love is a broken heart
It reaps great sorrow
Love can never be lent
Nor can one borrow
Love are the stories
That Grandma once told
Love are the sweet memories
For eternity to hold
Love is the tough teacher
That will beat you dry
Love is the mother
That suckles you when you cry
Love is like a fountain
It needs to be set free
Love is like a river
Merging with the sea
Love is a circle
No beginning no end
Love is the tears
When two hearts mend
Love is fire
When hearts ignite
Love is sex
When souls unite
Love is humor
Laughter and jest
Love is simply God
In human manifest

i often struggle with insufficient voice to express appreciation. i struggle for words to thank you for these beautiful lines and for their presence on my own site.
part of my own work is to study my words once i have written them, discovering ever more layers of meaning in the messages given to me. i hold this poem's writing in the same way, as it was a gift from your site to mine. every gift is a message from the Universe and ever to be received sincerely and gently. thank you.
many of your expressions here reflect love elementals and others bring personal experience (yours and/or another's).
love is a feeling of never being apart...if we look deeply we recognize the truth in love, that of the untruth of separation. love knows there is no being apart, as there is only One. you bring an incredible truth in this line.
the paradoxical lines are exquisite, most poignant in love is our greatest need; it is our salvation, a reminder to us that any longing we have represents its own place as redemption for us. this compels me to examine my own desires. my healing is within my own wounds; my truth is in my need.
some of your lines appear to be paradoxical to your poem's message, indicating your own personal struggle. i give thanks for every touch of love you have experienced, for every gift it has brought you.
you land on the most important message of all love is simply God in human manifest.
thank you for the beautiful gift you have offered all of us...
thank you...
