Random Thoughts On Love

Love risks all when we just can’t pass it up Though it may ask us to drink from a bitter cup, For who has not loved and, regrettably, lost They who would love must measure the cost. Love promises much more than crude infatuation, It matures into that warm, mutual appreciation When a couple shares not-so-subtle glances, Willingly walks together through perilous chances. Love smiles at the unanticipated gift or token Love is the apology after harsh words are spoken Love accepts the gentle unexpected touch And knows the meaning of precisely such. Love endures when everything else becomes jaded, When what once was unblemished now has faded Love looks not on the outside, but inside the soul Finds therein the reasons the two are made whole. Love is more than a few words can describe, Words written on a wounded heart can ascribe. Love is faithful to vows of commitment spoken, The promise of one’s presence never broken.
