Love is

Love is

What makes our heart so tender

Love is the opening of a doorway

To a closed room

Where suffering lived

All alone in silence

Love is what brings the warmth

To a heart grown

As cold as ice

Love doesn’t think

Twice

When embracing the beloved

Love is the flood that comes

When we feel ourselves coming undone

Awakening from a state of

Barricaded ignorance

Love is the answer

To a longing we may have buried

But could only silence the cry of

For so long
