Love Is... Poem by Chris Jibero

Love is life's faithful spouse
One in body, soul and spirit
Energizer that spurs man
To great heights
Giving meaning and direction

Love is the mother of hope
For a better tomorrow
Enabling man to bravely face and surmount
The challenges that cripple the loveless

Love is the engine room of creativity
That cuts celebrities from the rock ot time
And sends them to dance Blues
With the whetstone of achievements

Love is the wheel that keeps the world
In constant motion
Swift and bittersweet
Without a nerve of monotony
But having strong sinews of entertainment
Making all who have had but a sip of its wine
Lively and joyful as a river
On its regular course to the sea

Love is a freshner
Evidently displayed by blooming skin
Like the sun flower on a sunny day
And eyes glittering like stars
Amassesd together in a large ball

But what would life have been without love?
Anguish
Sweat
Tears
Dull
And Hell.
