Love Is

Love is indescribable 
said one person to anothe'

its fingerprint original
unique, yet understandable

no cloying sentiments
no mal-worded melodrama

perhaps upturning a hand
to fill its palm with whispers

maybe an echo of 'love you'
sighed by a smiling heart

Love is indescribable
said this person to another

Love is definitely indescribable, especially if it is true. You however have penned a certain feeling in your words that brings thoughts to mind as we try it describe it. That fourth stanza was perfect. Beautifully done.

Love does indeed love love and should. Let's be honest, we need a lot more of it on our planet: the real kind of love, not the fake stuff movies and tv dictate. Long live reality.. Thank you so much Arturo. .
