Love

Love is sour, 
Love is sweet.
Love is cold, 
Love is heat.
Love is the sound of a beat
A world you can’t resist.

It comes and goes like flash
Leaving stripes on the heart like a lash.
May seem stupid to others
But sticks hearts closer than brothers.
Love is blind and bright
But travels farther than the speed of light.

Love knows no boundaries-
Race, gender, status or beliefs.
Love holds no grudge, 
Even in pain, shame or blame.
Love builds the Heart, 
Making friends, lovers, couples or soul mates.

Love is cruel, 
Love is nice.
Love is foolish, 
Love is wise.
If love could rise and fall like the tide, 
Why then is it called love?
