If love was

 


If love was a place,

it would be the sea.

Where tides

embrace the sand,

delicately stroking

with gentle watery hands.

Teasing with kisses,

as it pleasingly

feels like flying

when it rises and falls.

Love is in the seabirds calls,

it sings through quays

in tones unique to you and me.

 

If love was a time, 

it would always be now.

Not tomorrow, not yesterday.

Not some far away destination.

Instead, it would be circling all around,

because love is always there,

in the heart, in the mind.

Deep within the soul,

it blossoms inside.

You can feel it,

a tingle in your fingertips,

a feeling in the deepest pit

of the stomach where it sits.

It makes you want to shout loudly about it,

let the world know

proudly that yes, I am in love,

and love is in me.

 

If love was an object,

it would be a pen.

The most powerful item,

it can wring dry the hearts

of the sturdiest men.

Our words leap out and flow from

somewhere deep within.

The hope we grasp a hold of

drips from its nib,

and splits into letters upon the page.

They scream to be read.

Unread words ache to be said,

unread words want to become

more than a voice in your head.

Unread words may

contain answers to questions

you've always wanted to ask

but were always too scared.

For unread words feel like the long dead.

 

Love also lives in the unspoken words,

in the spaces between words on my page.

Love has a name,

but it is hidden from eyes that read.

I hold that love deep inside of me.

For if it was released,

it may evaporate into the breeze.

A secret told

is no longer a secret you hold,

but a future that you may never get to behold.

If love was a face

it would be the one I see every night.

The one in the moonlight.

The one that watches life

and sees beauty

in this world of which we reside.
