Love Rules Our Life Poem by Salvie Rosales

It makes you cry and laugh
It makes you ill and well
It makes you hot and cools you down
It makes you feel bad and good
It makes you sink and float
It makes someone do good and bad
It makes you feel emptiness and fullness
It makes you bloom and cause to wrinkle
It can make you rich and poor
It gives happiness and sadness
It gives fear and courage
It gives respect and disrespects
It gives trust and mistrust
It gives and receives
It gives brightness and darkness
It gives sweetness and bitterness
It gives joy and sorrow
It gives pain and pleasure
It gives strength and weakness
It gives success and failure
It gives stress and de-stress
It gives beauty and ugliness to life
It brings you heaven and hell
It breaks and mends a heart
It turns intelligent to a fool
It ages the young and youth the old
It fills and empties a pocket
It raises and lowers your blood pressure
It losses and gains intelligence
It multiplies sometimes divides
It is faithful and unfaithful
It is tender sometimes tough
It is rough sometimes smooth
It is soft sometimes hard
It reunites friends and enemies
It binds families and neighbors
It adds colors and enhances flavor to life
It makes a poet write overnight
It compels cruelty to those who refrain from using it right
It is being used and abused by many
It is always said only to please someone
It’s easy to say but hard to put into action
It can be said by a child without knowing the meaning of it
It can turn anyone insane
It is a gift to be given and waits to be accepted
It is taken when it is given, but never to find it.
It is emptiness without it
It breaks a relationship when lacking of it
It is only temporary to have it.
It can be said to anyone as many as it can be
It gives pain and heartaches unknowingly
It is frequently said without the truth of it
It is not a word to say
It is an emotion to feel,
A feeling needs to be put into action,
An action which comes from the heart,
A heart owns by a true person,
A person who shall then reap true happiness,
A true happiness powered by love.
God forgive those who misused thou greatest gift in vain,
And shower beauty, pleasure and happiness to those in pain.
