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 Protected by copyright Colab with Ryan Reynolds

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

This lyric is a lot of fun! I love: It's crude.....with class/Dom Perignon in a redneck's glass

This is a lovely and checkered poem, Chuck (and Ryan). Reflects mixed life experiences! "Ain't love a kick in the heart" sums it all up! Regards // paul

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.
