Love is a feeling you can't contain. It does not lie silently by waiting. It wants to be seen and heard and felt. It lives for the companionship of two souls. It speaks loudly when least expected And cannot be silenced. Love is not a hidden emotion To be kept at bay like a wayward child. It is not a misguided thought To be pushed back into the darkness of the mind. It craves light and touch and feeling. Love demands to be heard By the one it desires. And if refused it can attack the soul With unrelenting pain, unbearable by common man. Love takes no prisoners, But instead converts even the hardest of hearts To joy and desire and hope. Love does not ask to be borne. It arrives without warning And burrows deep within the heart of its host. It grows silently overtime, like a cherished plant It takes root in the soul of its owner And lives thriving forever, if, like the plant It is allowed the passion of life. Deny it, refuse it, silence it And it will dissipate quickly. Do not allow it into your life To be shared with the ones you cherish. And you will refuse it forever And it will die, silent. Do not speak the words of love And they will not know And you will not know The joy it can bring. For life without love is a miserable thing. So cherish the love in your life. Allow it to be seen, heard, felt. Speak of it often to give it life- Allow it to thrive in your heart, voice, spirit and mind. Give it a voice and it let it sing Let it grow and you will see All the wonders that love can bring. |
