What Is Love

Its the arthritic loving hands round the stubborn slipper 
 a dry kiss in the morn an unshaven face touching mine 
 the window seat with a view that makes the heart stir 
 love is many things to many people and that is fine 

It can be a single rose, placed gently on the sham 
 or a smile on the lips that says " I know where you live "
 its friends its strangers its blood line members and fam 
 love is many things to many people and that is fine 

Years of belonging to the one that sprinkles the sun 
 a little cereal, a cup of tea, or so much of his shine 
 love is an emotion an action, its never on the run 
 love is many things to many people and that is fine 

Two souls that skate around each other for a lifetime 
 Two hearts that bind together in the solvency of time.

Just the fact that two people meet and are able to intertwine their lives supports the contention that love is many different things. A smile or the giving of a rose is an apt romantic gesture to let someone know how we feel. Lovely poem, Pixie Dust! Best wishes in the contest, Carolyn
