Notes About The Poem

 

"True love is eternal" -- poet

Love Is

What is love, my dear love?
You cry, I sigh,
You sing, my joy, oh, high,
Your pain, my mind, full of woe.

How much do I love you?
I am the bee, you are the hive, 
I seek the odor, you are the rose, 
I gaze at the dark sky; in moon, we meet.

How deep is my love?
I am the core, you are its beat,
I am the sea, you are its wave,
I am the body; you are its soul.

How firm is my love?
We may or may not live long,
But be sure,
I will be ever for you and you will be mine.

What exactly is love? In Italian it is well described. "Ti voglio bene." I wish you all the good things in life. Still your poem is full of great contrasts and and rings so grand to me. Well done.
