Love?

The breathlessness
Weightlessness
Of your tenderness;

The buoyancy of
The total freedom
It gifts;

The fuzzy warmth of
The cocooning shelter;

And the dizzying heights
Of passion’s depths…

This is not love. They say.
For
They say love hurts.
They say love drains you.
They say love weighs you down.

So, why can they not say, then
What it is – this all encompassing feeling?
Why do they look on so sourly?
Why can they not touch it,
The way I do, and you do too?

Perhaps, because this is the truest emotion
There ever was-
Love, like we know, only Love can be!
Just Love!
