Like a shadow it comes
abruptly and uninvitied.
Tossed in a world with no concept of time,
it considers neither season nor age,
since age is, but a number

A strong feeling of liking, they say,
Deep, deep inside the heart it hides.
It makes the clear often appear foolish,
makes one do things they do not mean,
since it outweights all other things.

Occassionally it gives one life,
courage to push on for it's sake,
occupies one's mind with fantasies,
longing for each sun rise
since it's full of good and  hope.

A total stress at times,
a sharp knife that cuts and hurts,
when given out but not recognized,
confusion when no exsist to express it,
Since it won't suit to cowards.

A four- letter word it is,
but difficult to pronounce
when combined with two other little words.
Though to some it's a cliche;
It does take a man to prove it!

It's Love.
It's Love
