Notes About The Poem

What Love Is

L ove is the one force transcending all others,

O pens those hearts that adversity smothers,

V irtuous, to vanquish all hate, fear and doubt, 

E nduring, immortal, and ALL ... life's ... about.

Faraz Ajmal August 8, 2018 at 1:00 PM Ahh, your poem is really beautiful," love is the force transcending all others" Einstein may not agree with you, lol, but your poem sure was a joy to read and it sure is a really great poem, many congratulations on your wonderful 2nd position in my contest, good luck and have a really nice day Gregory Richard Barden August 8, 2018 at 5:53 PM Thank you so much, Faraz, I greatly appreciate the placement. Actually, Einstein called life WITHOUT love a "void", and I personally believe, (from his many writings on the subject), that he felt it as the one force that can transcend time. Blessings, Friend! :-)
