LOVE IS:

A sunray

that shines upon

beloved,

water that nourishes

love-thirty soul,

milk of life and happiness,

milk of joy and endearment,

milk with different taste,

felt upon entire body.

Love is

unseen medicine that

heal soul,

patron of all therapies,

retooling body wellness,

generative power for soul,

magnet that finds and

compass that leads to

soul mate’s abode.

Love the

bulb that gives light in

darkness,

fluorescent that makes

pathway accessible,

halogen that turns night

into daylight,

floodlight that makes

enclosure visible.

Love the

fresh red wine that

intoxicates,

colorless roses

present everywhere,

source of pitter-patter of

heart,

which activates pleasure center

of the brain.

Love the

powerful ocean tide,

no one can hold,

tsunami without barrier,

religion not a roadblock,

nationality not a restriction,

culture-not a wall,

love-pacemaker of life.

Love travels

all ways-

on straight line,

on rough or unpaved

road,

on bridge to meet lovers,

through cord between lovers,

on concrete that creates bond.

Still:

love kills,

but also heals

love creates war,

just as it ends war;

love-sea wave of peace-

precipitation of blessing,

cloud of happiness,

and comforting breeze of

gladness.

Love-who knows you?

No one,

you create lust,

balance with

attraction and

attachment.

Until you visits;

no one

understands

you,

until you go on

a journey,

then man appreciates

YOU.

Regardless:

Love-I cherish you,

I want to be your friend,

I say-make my

HOME-

your resting PLACE.

Compass of Love

Ice may be too cold for

hands to hold,

but not with ice of love,

fiery charcoal may be

too hot for palms to

carry,

not with burning

fire of love.

Winter wind may be

too

strong to withstand,

not when waiting for

a soul mate;

sweltering summer

heat may very

unbearable,

dripping sweat

head down may be

intolerable,

not when expecting

a lover.

Ocean may be very

turbulent,

river may agitate,

lake may become

ferocious,

never-will these

phenomena change

love dial of two lovers.

Hurricane is racing up

north,

cyclone going southward

Tsunami makes east west

inaccessible,

for certainty,

heart-global positioning

system-GPS-

will locate soul mate;

in bad weather,

in good weather,

love will circumnavigate

to overcome obstacles.

Because-

no one hinders-

compass of love,

and

GPS of love,

no one inhibits.
