Love is..

A four letter word that expresses a lot of meaning

brings marvelous and unexplainable showers of feeling

an expression of one\'s hidden affection

that had brought a light of sparkling sensation

it may come in a mask of possesiveness

but never greedy to block someone\'s happiness

it may come anytime like a silent thief

but will bring glowing treasure for a great relief

you have to welcome it when it knocks on your door

never ever waste it nor play with it to what it serves for

for sometimes it passes to the backdoor unknowingly

and before you know it it\'s on its way out so quietly

it is not afraid to face war of any source

braver than man-at-arms, stronger than any force

it can surpass any strong winds of disaster

in every challenges and tribulations, it stikes for the better

it is ever pure like a gold

a gem worth keeping many many thousand folds

it can stand the solid test of time

it teaches us to be a fighter not to be a coward and blind

it is such a mistery that no one could understand

where it did come from and where it would land

as the poem goes, it\'s so surprising

just how it appear, shoving you to sing

it possesses patience that extends bit by bit longer

for it would bear up sorrows with a promise to wait forever

it is long-lasting and enduring

that permits proliferation of a hidden feeling

it is selfless for it only thinks of others\' bliss

and carries a concern and emotion that never cease

it could bear and withstand sacrifices

and would even attempt to gather trophy of excellence

at times it can be jealous

but knows its limitations not to make things so calloused

for it serves as the very language of the heart

that swears: never ever to tear it apart

so guys before ending my line

i want you to ponder on this words of mine

when you decide to love, allow it to grow

when you promise to love, refuse to let go

love is a painful risk to take

only love makes you cry but only love knows why
