Defining Love:

I was once asked to define love Love a four-letter word Filled with passion Yet break hearts Cause war Divide homes Defining Love comes easy To those who are in love But to the ones Whose hearts were broken Love is the begging of war Love is the pain that they still endure Love has many definitions But I have not been able to explore The true meaning of that four-letter word ‘LOVE’ I once believed that Love was the art of forgiveness But I have discovered that Love carries a torch To say, I understand would be a lie To pretend would be untrue I am still confused As I was the day you first walked out the door Love has been kind But in my life I was blind Love is just a word That I cannot define And I am afraid I may not find.

This is an excellent write, Patricia. I have often thought that for a person to write about love one must be in love. Simply because the memory of being in love taste bitter. Then it takes on a whole different meaning. I'm giving this poem A7.
