The Love of Poetry

This poem is for everyone who has ever loved, been loved and needs loved, but most of all for those who wish to understand love.

A Universal State

It is a very strange emotion
Over which we have no control
It can descend upon you suddenly
And penetrate your soul

For love has no boundary
And no one is immune
It will tug upon your heart strings
And play its merry tune

And though the world is full
Of famine, war and death
Love transcends them all
As it is in our very breath

Because love is more than an emotion
It is a universal state
The very essence of our lives
A very human trait

So when you get those feelings
Let love envelop you
Embrace, nurture, cherish it
And show it to others too
