Love Is

I still remember this one. It surprised me, as my writing sometimes does, when I finished. It wasn't by conscious design. See if you see why.

Love Is

It's a funny thing,
Love is,
Yet there's little
Humorous about it.

It's our most powerful
Emotion.
The way it can lift us up,
And can destroy us.

It drives us to do
Things
We'd rarely do. It
Consumes us, completely.

It leaves us in a state
Uncontrolled,
Yet we rarely mind
'Cause Love doesn't care.

With it comes complete
Peace --
And unbelieveable torment.
But it's all worth it...

For with Love, we get
Life's greatest rewards.
