What Is Love
What is love?
Please define the word to me like an infant,
Elaborate like the alphabets from A to Z,
Give me meanings that will a shame a storm,
Give it sense so I can grow and understand.
What is love?
Answer my question and do not include riddles,
Take me to the mountain but don’t explain in parables,’
Float me in the see and wash my feet with fish oil,
Guide my path like a Buddha and give me knowledge.
What is love?
Hearts break after enduring the agony of its meaning,
People perish from the plague of the venomous word,
Souls are breathless when they encounter the phrase,
But my question still lingers what does love mean.
What is love?
Born by the phrase bred by the world surrounded by lust,
Like a cloud with a spot of sunshine that blisters the storm,
A rainbow of meanings without an end to collect the golden pot,
Paraphrase it if you may but kindly elaborate the true meaning.
