My Poem “Love/Life”

Love is a roller-coaster ride
of ups and downs...
Love is an adventure
of heights and depths...
Love is a storm of emotions...
Love is a sacrifice, a leap,
a promise, a bond, a mutual connection
and a commitment to journey
somewhere with someone,
or with something,
that cannot be understood,
nor undertaken, alone.

Love is a beginning,
Love can be an end...
Love can be the making,
Love can be the breaking...
Love is what happens
when you choose to take a step
into the unknown with someone
who you feel something for you
beyond the limits of just being friends...
Love is about giving, receiving,
caring, listening, learning,
appreciating and not taking
for granted what you see,
hear, and feel changing, evolving,
and perennially blossoming.

Love can be tested...
Love can be lost...
Love can be mended...
Love can be harder to define
and to put into words than anything,
because Love is something
that seems so simple
from the outside looking in
but which, in reality, is more complex
than the answer to the meaning of life.
