Notes About The Poem

How One Knows

how one knows...

that love is true;
     so real.
          it's in the eyes;
               written in a smile,
                    in a kiss
                         so soft
                              and tender.

heard in
     words spoken;
          deeply felt
              in a tight embrace it;
                   revealing itself in
                        a...
                             gentle touch... that's love!
