How Do I Define Love? Poem by Noel Horlanda

How Do I Define Love?

Rating: 4.8


A bunch of red roses,
box of dark chocolate,
A jewelry chest,
music box,
An engagement ring perhaps,
or woman’s best friend, diamond,
A gold necklace,
locket an image in it,
Or pendant, an emerald,
Oh, tell me what’s love then?

An act of worship, caring,
passion, affection,
Attraction, veneration,
kiss, sex, adoration,
A lover’s prayer, music
pledge, promises,
Offers the stars, moon,
universe…
even your own soul
Oh, what’s this thing called love?

Tell me…

Love just come out from the blues,
Love just happen without you knowing it

Very enjoyable Noel. Keep up the fine work. There's a great jazz song titled, 'WHAT IS THIS THING CALLED LOVE'...., that I sometimes sing in my night club act. Best regards, Trade.

Junk jewelry and emotive blending works synergistically where emotional element always higher… ‘…Love just comes out from the blues, // Love just happens without you knowing it…’ If the blue is from sky its good and if from sorrow [blue=sorrow] it is better than best… 10+ Ms. Nivedita UK

Love is the eye of the blind, the legs/ 'the crutch' that make the lame walk upright and then take off... Love reveals the horrors of the darkness and the beauty of the light. Would you please read ' Unconquerable'?
