What Is Love

Love is:

A prop for the head,
For the eyes a visor;
For the weary a bed,
For taste an appetizer;

A rainbow arching
The sky of life;
A soldier marching
To a battle of strife.

A melody for
The soul to greet;
A welcome shore,
A haven, retreat.

A booster of heart,
A lifter of soul,
Both being parts
Of a wondrous Whole.

A soarer on wings
Hovering above —
All things earthly–
Such is Love.

Symphony Of Symphonies

Poem:

Like a set of attuned bells

Chiming a soulful melody, Love must play on!

No arsenal of pain and death can ever silence it,

as long as there is an audience willing to listen

to this symphony of symphonies.

Love (Poem)

Love is:

A prop for the head;

For the eyes a visor;

For the weary a bed;

For taste an appetizer;

A rainbow arching

The sky of life;

A soldier marching

To a battle of strife;

A melody for

The soul to greet;

A welcome shore;

A haven, retreat;

A booster of heart,

Lifter of soul,

Each being a part

Of a wondrous Whole;

Like a spirited bird

Soaring on wings,

 High, high above

All common things.
