The Multiple Facets of Love

Love is a dream that begins Love is a chimera that begins It’s a ballerina who dances It’s a poet who thinks It's a bird that sings It's the freshness of mints It's the lie of the ancestors It's the gossip thing That's all we see That's all we hear It's the old man who lies bitterly It's the shadow we stumble upon It's the pretty or the ugly woman It’s the existence of the soul It's our sad imagination It's our painful inspiration It's the farewell of lovers It’s the escape of a charming being It's the death of emotions It's the end of the passions Love is a dream that never ends Love is a nightmare that never ends We don't know what else to say While crossing or crisscrossing the ages And by stepping or jumping over the clouds.
