Love is..

I am the song in your heart,
I am the light that consumes the dark,
I am the thought to block all hate,
I determine your unavoidable fate.

I block all rational thought,
I am something that cannot be taught,
I am the basis of devotion,
I am the beginning of families in motion.

I am the fundamentals for all cultures ignored,
I am the reason for all countries at war,
I am a factor not heard nor seen,
Yet I can be legally declared at eighteen.

I am the only word unable to be defined,
I am love, pure and divine.
