What is love?

Is it the whimper in a baby’s cry
Or the joy from laughter thrilling?
Both, my dear, in love’s embrace lie,
Through tears and laughter fulfilling

Is it the uncertainty in a child’s first word
Or the surety of life’s final word slipping?
Love encompasses both, undisturbed
It’s in beginnings and in endings—connecting

Is it in the warmth of a friend’s bare-hug
Or fragrant like the essence of spring-flower’s blooming?
Love’s embrace, gentle and snug
In bonds of friendship, hate forever eclipsing

Is it like dew drops refreshing early morn’s dawn
Or evening’s sun crimson-like setting?
Love’s endearment, lingers on and on
In nature’s beauty, always giving

Is it flame that warms like sunshine’s ray
Or the tender kiss wrapped in lovers’ touching?
Love is the intertwine of passions as such, it’s
A dance of fire and tenderness ever-growing

Is it in silence unspoken or whispers profound
Or in words uttered out loud expressing?
Motionless or expressed, love knows no bound
In every gesture, love expressed is rejoicing

Does it reside in intertwined hearts’ dance
Amidst the push and pull of emotions opposing?
Love’s magnetic force weaves a spell so full
Entwined hearts’ dance, aligned rhythms expressing

When you have felt it so, my dear, you
Experience the vastness of love’s grand design
Then you’ll know without a doubt—you’ll truly know
Love encompasses all, the divine and the sublime
