Love Defined

by Thomas A Michel   Dec 1, 2006


Although it's better than the rest,
this word can never pass the test;
it fails in all capacity
to describe the things you mean to me.

I need a word that's soft and mellow
but painted bright with sunshine yellow
I need a word to see my pain
a word that's proud, but never vain.

I need a word that says, "I care",
that goes where no-one else would dare.
I need a word that's fair and just.
I need a word of sultry lust.

I need a word to hold me tight
to comfort me throughout each night
I need a word of fun and play
to greet me as I start each day.

I need a word to tell me plain
when I'm in error once again.
I need a word that's fearless, bold,
not slow and weak and tired and old.

I need a word of tender touch
a word that needs ME very much.
I need a word that's sparkling new
to describe the love I feel for you.

    Total gorgeousness!
    This whole poem pulses with the feeling of love.
    One of the most powerful emotions in the world and the english dictionary still hasn't come up with a word that fits.
    Excellent rhyming!
    5/5
