What is love?

What is love?

Maybe love’s a word?

So often said and heard.

Maybe love’s a dream?

part of someone’s scheme.

Maybe love is power?

Locked in your ivory tower.

Maybe love’s a kiss?

Momentary bliss.

Maybe love’s a pet?

Helping us forget.

Maybe love is sex?

Why make it more complex?

Maybe love is time?

A poet finds words to rhyme.

Maybe love’s to share?

So why so few who dare?

Maybe love’s a ring?

Connecting we to him.

Maybe love’s a name?

Someone that we claim.

Maybe love’s a horse?

Powerful intercourse.

Maybe love’s a sea?

Deep and wild and free.

Maybe love’s a wall?

Breaking as we fall.

Maybe love’s just a word,

So often said and heard,

But little seen.
