Emile Pinet Poet Quatrain

What Is Love

How can I ever describe love,
when love defies definition?
For while shared with Angels, sort of,
it is a human condition.

Have you ever felt so alive
that life felt almost too extreme?
And caught up in passion's drive,
have you ever lived out your dream?

Have you ever gotten a kiss
that left you floating on a cloud?
And filled with spontaneous bliss,
have you ever shouted out loud?

Have you ever felt light as air,
or felt warm and gooey inside?
And as jealous eyes gawk and stare,
have you ever strutted with pride?

Have you ever felt you were whole,
falling head over heels in love?
And felt such warmth within your soul,
that it rivaled heaven above?
