Option 1

"One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life.
The word is love.”Sophocles, Greek Poet 
Love’s a feeling difficult to describe 
It’s the loving potion angels prescribe 
From the start love’s a perpetual vibe
Etching on one’s heart a charming inscribe.

Love’s the melody sung within one’s soul
A lifetimes supernal leisurely stroll
It’s having someone who’s there to console
When in need of being made to feel whole
Love grows lovelier as the years evolve 
Affirmation to love’s glory extol
As love is life’s most ineffable role
Aim for love to be life’s ultimate goal.

True love can never be put asunder
Nothing on earth could disturb love's thunder.

Hey Beryl your sonnet, beautifully captures the essence of love, portraying it as a mystical force that transcends description. The opening lines immediately draw the reader in with the assertion that love is elusive yet omnipresent, like a divine elixir prescribed by angels. The imagery of love as a "perpetual vibe" and an "etching on one's heart" conveys its enduring nature and profound impact on the soul.
