Love Is so much more than a word!

I laugh and I cry
And I'm doing it all at the same time
I walk and I crawl
When not bouncing around like a rubber ball
It builds you up to tear your apart
Ain't love a kick in the heart

Feels good.....It hurts
But it tingles so, you know it works
It's sour...it's sweet
A chilling breeze in the summer heat
It's seeing the light from a shot in the dark
Ain't love a kick in the heart

L.............O.............V.............E
Is such a little word
But it can teach a hurricane
More about the twists and turns

It's black.....It's white
Pinstriped...Checkerboard and Tie Dyed
It's far....It's near
A screaming whisper in your ear
It's a wishing well full of falling stars
Ain't love a kick in the heart

It's crude.....with class
Dom Perignon in a redneck's glass
It's fast.....It's slow
Gaining ground when you lose control
It's a Rembrandt made from crayon marks
Ain't love a kick in the heart

Love in all its aspects, so lyrically penned. Like a glistening diamond... Beautiful, my friend! ~ Gershon

I love this, Chuck. And, it's so true. Love is surely a paradox and the way you use comparison in this poem is so unusual that it will make it to my FAV list for sure.
