Love

Love's a mystery 
famed in history,
magic;
It's a great story
made with mastery,
mythic;
Sometimes comedy, 
sometimes tragedy,
epic. 

Heart of its longing
defies everything,
true love;
Peril is nothing,
for, love is flitting, 
like dove; 
Honest and caring, 
never pretending,
must have. 

Heart in swift motion, 
sincere emotion,
so fine;
Heartfelt affection
doused with compassion, 
divine;
Deep dedication, 
ardent devotion, 
like mine.
