Love Defined

You cannot see love
Like seeing sky above,
You cannot hear love
Like hearing bells ring,
You cannot smell love.
Like the scent of a rose.
You cannot touch love.
Like you handle a glove,
However, you can feel love.
In a warm glowing heart,
You can see it so deeply.
From a glance of ones eyes,
You can perceive true love.
From the sound of the words,
Loves fragrance may grow.
From a trail that you know,
Love is complete and scentless.
But never partial or senseless,
Love may be hidden by one.
It can be subjective or won.

great thoughts on the screen, love is like the wind. It blows over you and blows you down.

aw love, with a definition, that has no precision, but to each our thoughts, helps make that decision. Cause love to all of us so differently felt, and the words to describes it truly..well no one knows, it can't be helped.
