Love

Love is like a fire
It often expires
A comfort that revives
Your tender soul alive.

A blind joy soaring
The loveless signs ignoring
It rises high with freedom's grace
To spring a blush upon your face.

Love is sweet like antique wine  
It breaks the fetters of loveless mind.
Love is loving all the time
Love is a spirit unconfined.

Love is a constant kindness
A joyful untamed madness.
Love jealous not
Or is a selfish glut.


Love is a divine quality
Expressed in purity!

I agree, love should never be expressed falsely. Only whole-heartedly and with honest truthfulness. Which is something that most people forget to think about when they decide to love someone...Very beautiful words that you have written in this poem, Mustapha, I enjoyed it immensely!
