Love Is..

Love is a rainbow in a clear blue sky,
Love is a rose in a field of thorns,
Love is truth amid the lies,
Love is hope, when all is forlorn..

Love is both pain, and it is pleasure,
Love is need unveiled,
Love is a beating heart, beyond measure,
Love is madness to which my mind rails..

Love is victory, and it is defeat,
Love is peace, yet the mind is at war,
Love is love, when souls meet,
Love is forgiveness, when all is scarred..
