Thoughts

What is love?
Is it so far away?
Is it beyond our reach,
Or right before us.
Could it be within us.
Surely love travels from the heart to the head,
not the head to the heart.
Doesn't the mind think,
While the heart feels.

What is a song?
For it is only an expression of love.
And where neither words nor music
can truly express love,
Silence can.

Who can explain love?
Who understands it?
Can it be grasped?
Can love be given
And not received?
If love is not received
When it is given,
Is it truly love?

Why do i write?
To express that which
can't be said,
Or say that which
can't be expressed?

Is love this complicated,
Or do we simply
make it seem that way?
What use is it to speak
when no one is there to listen?
Isn't it much wiser to listen
when no one speaks?
What is love?
The words,
the feelings,
the actions.
What is love?
