Love
Can’t be grasped
Can’t be caught
Can’t be sent away
Can’t be bought
If it ain’t there
It ain’t there
We long for it
We yearn for it
We crave for it
But, if it ain’t there
It ain’t there
It can’t be faked
It can’t be feigned
It can’t be fabricated
It can’t be forced
If it ain’t there
It simply ain’t there
Yet, if it is
It won’t go unnoticed
It can be seen
It can be felt
It can be sensed
It can tickle
It can wield
It can make the world
a giant field
full of roses
smelling like the sun
love
can make
you feel
second to none
A state to be guarded preciously
But we forget
We get cushy
And all of a sudden
It can be gone again
As if it flew away
With the wind
slowly
Breeze by breeze
Like a fire
that lost its flames
We let love slide
and feel
hollow
inside
Empty, dry, vacant,
like a desert
Our heart,
desolate
depleted
defeated
But we fight
and we survive.
And one day,
we realize
the earth is still turning
And all we need to do
is turn with it
And let our hearts
be like rivers
forever flowing
a constant stream
kissing the reef
embracing the shore
Life isn’t simple
Love even less so
But, hey, it makes us feel alive
