Simply Love

Love within a beating heart
Between a man and wife
Pure and simple beauty
As simple and true as life
What else can compare?
What else known to man?
Transcending all boundaries
Wild as the sand
Across the tongues of man
As mysterious as light
A feeling across the earth
Mysterious as flight
How can one heart catch another
Although a world apart?
So silent, so precious still
An ever beating heart
Some love hide away
Some take into the air
Although not one the same
None bleed beyond repair


A girl of beauty
Yet a little cared for name
Only what she offers
Is all the love she gains
Behind her flesh, inside her
A beauty lies in wait
Waiting for a lover
A masterpiece to create
A boy full of life
What else could he need?
The friends, the fun, the glory
Yet internally he bleeds
One heart full of love
No need for romance
One kiss to this frog prince
Love will break him from this trance
A God so full of love
His cup overflows
To his son who drinks it
He offers his heart to show
Trapped behind a man
Became a consecrate
Death was on its way
By his he became the bait


Once trees loose their leaves
Others spring to grow
The old create new life
A never ending flow
Deep as a skyless ocean
Never to erase
It is often spilt with supposed waste
Yet it only is ever misplaced
How can be spent
What has no quantity?
A light cannot be captured
So love will be free
A misconceived notion
A timeless work of art?
One thing remains unchanged
Love is set apart
