if love were but a running stream

whos waters were of the purest

unclouded by the obstacles of life

forever to remain pure and flowing.

oh how i long for love to last

to shield me from this life of loneliness

the touch of a loving hand on your skin

ever so gently making you shudder.

is there love still in this evil world

love that can pushback the darkness

love that can protect you from pain

envelope you in its warm sweet caress.

if love can be forever and life so short

than why has love forsaken so many in time

is that love we share only a shallow remnant

of what actually love was intended to be

do we share love only as a stepping stone

is there something greater that we long for inside

is love but a tool used to provide our wants

or is love a need that we dont quite understand.

love to me is a mist of water showering down

and endless trickle of yourself shared with another

a warm mist of caring and comfort in darkness

spreading light to each of you and a path of safety

love to me is looking into the light in their eyes

seeing your future of family and kindness abound

seeing the same light returned in a glance

and knowing that they are forever and happy.

love to me is also the hurt thats caused inside

love can cause pain beyond all reason and fear

love is kind, but can be also be the monster

love can destroy the bare essence of yourself

love can warm your heart, soul and mind

love can also tear your heart and mind to shreds

love can bless you with happiness and bliss

love can also rip your life from your control

love is a path with 2 different trails branched

love, the path of truth, compassion and kindness

love, the path of pain, indifference and hurtfullness

oh how i wish the first path to be the most used.

i say that love can be forever and lasting

the one who loves must never relax on its creating

love is a work in progress as life is also 

love should never take a back seat to troubles.

i say that love is fleeting if left in a closet

ever to ruin all that it has delivered to life

work on love i say to the masses of the lonely

love can replace all the bad or bring it with it

i say that love is a piece of ourselves given

and as ourselves shouldnt be forgotten or misplaced

love is a piece of us just as hand or a foot

love is forever inbedded in what we want in life

love should never be taken for granted or forgotten

love should be embraced and never used to cause pain

love should be to show warmth, caring and devotion

to those we share ourselves with not against them.

if love were but a running stream

whos waters were of the purest

unclouded by the obstacles of life

forever to remain pure and flowing.

please love forever and your life shall reap the benefits and rewards. give as you recieve and your happiness and contentment shall last forever.
