Is this what love is??

Is this what love is???

The waves of the sea they know just one way of life
That they must roll out to reach out to the shore,
Before they roll in to melt into the sea once more.
It must hurt to lose ones identity ant yet
Day after day they continue to do so
For in losing their identity alone, may they become whole!
Is this what love is ???

The wax ,it embraces the wick in all totality
Knowing fully well that the wick will burn itself and in doing so burn the wax too
Yet the wax chooses to burn and die a slow death
For in total surrender alone can one taste the bittersweet taste of love
For in giving of oneself alone will one find fulfilling love
Is this what love is???

The moth flits around the light
Round and round in circles in the night
What is it about the light that draws in the moth
Knowing fully well that death is the price
Why does the moth still let go of the safety of the darkness of the night
To embrace the light to deaths delight.
Is this what love is ?????


The drops of rain swiftly make their descent
To be lost in the heart of the earth mingling with it to give out its unique scent.
To give life they must give of themselves first
It is the story of each of Gods creation
Surrender is the key that opens and closes loves heart
And each must play his part.
Is this what love is????

Without his memories every breath I take seems like a crime
I will that all his pain I could take away and make all mine
Life with out loving him is no life at all
I feel like a ship without an anchor, like an apple without its core
Yet in my pain alone must I find relief
If I can’t have him, at least I have the bittersweet pain - memories of having him once but no more……….
Is this what love is???

From the beginning of time they have done just this
They know no other life, nor another way
They must forever give regardless of whether they receive
For in giving one offers ones’ identity
And in losing ones identity alone
Will one become whole and partake of divinity….
Love is what love does, what love gives, what love sacrifices…..
This is what love is!!!!!!!!!
