What is love?

by cataclysmicSoul   Mar 22, 2008


Love is like a poem,
a poem written by spring,
dictated by summer,
read by autumn,
and dreamed by winter.

love is like a thawing drop,
a thawing drop moved by the air,
heated by the sun,
dropped by the leaves,
and greedily drank by the earth.

love is like wind,
wind that gently strokes your cheeks,
that roughly destroys your hair,
that dries your tears,
that secretly through the branches whispers.

love is more then a word,
more than a thought,
more than a feeling,
love can only be defined,
by the one who finds its true meaning.
