What Is Love

What is love?
A rhetorical question!
An art movie  I want to watch without an intervention.

What is love?
An amusing venture!
If taken too seriously may turn into a dicey adventure.

What is love?
A companionship for lifelong!
An emotion so mighty and fiercely strong.

What is love?
A luxury not everyone can afford,
a beauty not everyone can behold.

Alas!
What is love?
Love is a journey not a destination,
love is a feeling you can't possess with lack of compassion.
Love is a cure to jealousy,
a power mightier than any prophecy.
Love is an emotion which can't be expressed with actions alone,
it is a fragrance stronger than any cologne.
Love is pure in all forms,
love is accepted in all norms.

Love is selfless,
love is never helpless.
Love is felt not seen,
love is reality not a movie on screen.
True love is unrefined,
love best is undefined.


Love is Love.
