What Love Is

(I Know)
What Love Is…

I know what love is,
I’ve seen it before.
Held it in my arms,
Kissed its tender lips.
Shivered from its passion,
Nourished from its embrace.

I know what love is,
I’ve felt it before.
Relished in its anger,
Torn by its deception.
Kicked by its jealousy,
Laughed in its face.

I know what love is,
I’ve lived it before.
Surprised by its consistency,
Blinded by its strength.
Polarized by its dominance,
Amazed at its forgiveness.
