Love Is
Love reminds me of a Spring Day
Just warm and light
Sun-kissed skin and soft pink lips
Green hues of bunches of fresh cut grass
Your green eyes just reflect the sunlight
You rush in like a wave of cool air
Bringing calm to the gardens of one's mind
I've always felt safe around you
There had never been a second guess of trustfulness
Just honesty in its full form of bliss
The world could be screaming
And it all would be silenced by the sound of your lips
Love makes the seas halt with the same hands it uses to wipe away the waterfalls
It shields away the cruelty of man
Love is something that needs to be nurtured in order to grow
Like an infant, it must be cared for
Held in your hands tight
But not too tight
No, love is not suffocating
Love is the air in your lungs
Breathed in and then out
No, love does not ever shout
Love does not wrap around your wrist
Love does not make a fist
But wraps a tiny finger around your heartstrings and tugs
Love plays a soft melody
Always a lullaby to help you sleep
Love saves lives
In fact, you've saved mine
I've never known love without a price
It has caused me to toss and turn at night
Cry at the moon and pray everything would be alright
But when I look at you,
The flowers bloom and it is Spring time again
