What is Love??

Love is...

a feeling that we're searching
something that is not there
it hides when you are seeking
and it pounces on you unawares

It comes like the shadows
it grows as it comes close
But when the light no longer glows
silently, it goes

Like a candle in the wind,
causing the candlelight to flicker
Love is still an emotion
it can dim but also grow stronger

Depending on the lovers
whether they think to shield the wind
or they leave the light to flicker
like a candle in the wind

It takes both hands to clap
likewise, it takes both parties to shield
For, the lack of loving hands to hold
soon, the love will just grow cold

Waiting for the lover
to hold my hands in his
to shield the light together
and keep the passion in

We have just bought the candle
Has it lighted? I don't know
But i will start to intertwine my fingers
in love, in prayer or in hope?
In his arms lies the answer
As i lay my head closer
Waiting for the signal
to shield the light together

That, to me, is love.

Love is a mixture of
honey and lemon
sugar and spice
popsicle with lime
Hard work and time
Strawberries and cream
Children, home and dreams
