Love's Definition

What is Love... 

Really? 

Do you get lost 

In its maze? 

In its ocean, 

Do you drown? 

Or 

Disappear 

And never hope 

To be found? 

Is it 2 tons  

Of  

Oreos,  

Minus the  

Crème? 

Is it  

Never waking up 

From a  

Sweet lucid dream? 

Showering in  

Waterfalls? 

Drying off in sunshine? 

Visiting Heaven  

On weekends, 

Counting stars 

With the 

Divine? 

Is it running through 

Sprinklers  

With childlike  

Innocence? 

Reincarnation of  

Eve, 

A second chance at 

Genesis? 

Sliding down a chocolate 

Rainbow; 

Into caramel  

Fondue? 

Time travel to mistakes 

With a chance  

To undo? 

That fuzziness 

You feel 

When caressed 

On your neck? 

Of never having  

Worked, 

But earn  

A million dollar  

Check? 

A beach home of 

Paradise 

With your  

Mansion 

At the shore? 

Living in eternal 

Peace  

With no reasons for  

War? 

Is it butterflies  

That dance inside of you 

With bliss? 

Flawless exuberance 

With 

Nothing 

Amiss? 

When real love is 

Lavished 

With copious care; 

It inspires its  

Effect 

In return.. 

My match has been  

sparked; 

But my  

Torch 

Is unlit... 

It’s the  

Blazing Inferno 

I Yearn.
