Jack Reed Poet Heroic Couplet

The Power Called Love.

The Power Called Love


The Power Called Love 


The power called love.
Is the strongest power from above. 
Love will truly control your mind. 
Make you lose your sense of time. 

Love can beat you down. 
Or your soul will float without a sound. 
It will make you do the strangest things. 
It could bring you much, much, pain.

The question is are you willing to take this risk? 
To love someone, then eventually this pain will sink in.
How about when the money is all gone? 
Will this love fall apart then walk on?

Heartbreak will begin to settle in. 
Then that mental anguish - can you forgive?
The power of love is hard to control. 
You never know who is going to get hurt, or who is playing you. 
Or… who is playing with your soul...
