What Is Love, Not a Broken Song

If love was an -ism, we'd all believe it, like some perfect idea. a philosophical epitome If love was an -ology, we'd all specialize in it, like a doctor. study its anatomy. If love was an -ist, we'd all try and be it, like a poet. write its anomalies. If love was an -ish, we'd all try to feel it, like a mood ring. measure its degrees If love was an -ing, we'd all be doing it, like some movement. a new revolution If love was a suffix, it would be confined, to merely three letters at the end of a word. If love was human we wouldn't recognize him, like he was foreign, as if he were a martian. If love was alive it would be exclusively shared by those who are living. If love was dead, than we would have no reason to live. If love was reason, then all of our frontal lobes would be married. If love was the ocean it would be fathomed. If love was a mountain it could be climbed. If love is just a feeling we'd all get over it. If love is a dream then we are still sleeping. If love is just a phase then how come I'm not over it? Love is divine, and Love is an endless longing of the soul for its maker, and can only be satisfied by the ageless creator.

A most enjoyable write... What is love if there is no creator? Perhaps more than the fusion between sub-concious thought and instinct but less than the extention of our sense of self. I like pieces that make me think a little more beyond the wriiten words. Thank you../
