The Four Letter Word

Four letters put together to create one word, with an impeccable definition. Love..., It is a strong word, Close to the heart, yet far from the woman you Love. Butterflies flying, flapping their orange and white wings in the summer heat. The butterflies flap, flap their beautiful wings together in the summertime of Love. For Love is beautiful, like the summer preludes! Four letters composed, to a Chopin's masterpiece. The Romantic pole reaches out, to touch, to hold, to Love. For these four letters are easy to read and put together to create a complex concept with a universal definition. A four letter word, easy just to say, but it is harder to show. For Love is a simple word made up of simple letters, but a complex meaing that takes most lifetimes to comprehend and others a short while. For I've seen hearts broken and hearts put back together, with this simple word. My heart burned, brused, stabbed knows the dangers of this simple, four letter word. Love, some think it is a game to play when you are bored. Destroying self-esteem of girls, who are already weak and nieve. They long for love, but find surrealist dreams, and see the Man of their dreams slip away in the night. Gone without a trace. While she is sucked into false promises, from simple minded boys, with only one thing on their mind. Love..., it is a joke to some. "I love you," is a laughing stock, while a slap in the face, and disrespect is in fashion. Girls, foolish girls walking in lonesome heartbreak, saying they are in Love. It is sad to see, and hard to hear, I know it is. And to me Love is sometimes fair, and most times a cruel joke. Love, this four letter word is simple to say, but hard to comprehend. Love me and I shall take you by the hand show you caves of mystery, and skies of grace and meadows, filled with flowers, dedicated just for you, no one else, but you. We can make Love on the sandy beaches, under the moonlit sky under the still stars and shooting ones too. Have a romantic dinner of oyster-shells and champange and kiss each other, till we drown in intoxication and fall asleep in each others arms. huh, Love... A simple, four letter word, that is easy to say, but even harder to show.

What love means to one person, might mean something different to another...finding that 'one' that defines love the same as ourselves...we should never let them go. Wonderful write! Hugs
