What Is Love?

 

Love is a layer,

Of butter cream icing,

Love is the embrace,

I feel when we’re dancing,

Love is the melody,

That plays in my head,

Long after the music,

Has left me for bed.

*

Love is a scent,

Of apple blossom trees,

Love is the honey,

From regal queen bees,

Love is the taste,

Of liquid pure gold,

Left on my lips,

Forever enthralled.

*

Love is a touch,

Of soft fallen snow,

Love is the warmth,

From a fireside’s glow,

Love is the feeling,

That flows through my blood,

Pulsating and yearning,

To be all that it could.
