So many songs written
Sung with passions that left us awe-stricken
So many poems scribbled
Penned with artistry that could leave Shakespeare humbled.
So many kisses stolen,
Countless hearts broken,
Hurts that would forever remain unspoken,
Because I, love, has always been mistaken.
I’ve been reduced to a mere red rose
And in comparison to lust, I’ve been misdiagnosed
They even think I’m the ‘urge to merge’
The delightful cure for a hormonal surge!
I’m the romantically said ‘goodnight’
The bubbly feeling that’s snatched at first sight
I’ve been abused, misconstrued and even misspelt.
Worse still, they say I’m the force that’s seasonally felt.
I’m Love! I’m a decision.
I’m the emotion that’s kept humanity in motion.
I’m commitment,
I’m a vow,
I’ll remain after romance has taken a bow.
I’m a Person. I’m an action….
I’m the sacrifice that defies ration.
I’m selfless; I’m hopeful,
I’m so boundless, yet I can’t be boastful.
So powerful, I can bear all things
I’m not gullible yet I believe all things
I’m more than what people say
And I’m definitely too much to be celebrated in a day.
I’m Love
HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY.
