Love ...unexplained and undefined


Love is undefined.

Ordinary, yet not,

Valuable but priceless,

Enough, yet never enough.

 

Isn’t it beautiful?

Something so fragile.

 

Love is indefinite.

Original and sweet,

Vexing and passionate,

Endearing and complete, when

 

Enveloped in one’s love and life

Trusting each other is key

Even unstoppable in it’s own right,

Reassurance in times of defeat.

Natural is love,

Arming ourselves against heartbreak

Lying in wait to take a chance

Losing ourselves in mistakes

Young and healing.

 

Challenges are a part of Love,

Handling anger with grace,

Accepting both good and bad,

Not lashing out in hate.

Give and take exist in love,

It’s not just about one half,

Night or day support matters, be it

Generating tears or laughs

 

Nurture the relationship,

Even if it may not last,

Viciousness will never do,

Ending in scars and overcast,

Realize this

 

Constantly, we ask ourselves

Oh, what is love?

No answer that we ever give

Shall ever be enough.

Though you may ask again,

An answer won’t be changed.

No one knows what love is, for

That is unexplained.
