Essence Of Love Poem by Anna Mae Angana

Love begets love; hatred begets hatred!
But time will come that love begets hatred.
I wonder why this was so…
And why should I gripe it?

Love is such a wonderful feeling as I thought,
A feeling that will lift the ocean waves…
That only an expert surfer will know how to passed it.

Sometimes the love you want may not be the love you need.
The one that gives you strength may be the one that will make you weak.
The one you love may be the one will broke your heart apart.
But, worry not for someday someone will mend it back.

For when you let go of love, you’ll know the essence of it.
That loving is not all joy but pain.
The joy that you feel will not be paid by any material wealth.
And pain will make you appreciate the real essence of love -
A wondrous emotion that makes your heartbeat is incomparable
Knowing that someone truly cares.
A love that is found may not be a love that is meant for you.
For the essence of love is loving someone without regret.

If pain is over, you’ll taste the bitter sweet emotions of loving.

A feeling that will make you realize that love gives color to life!

And in your memory it's like an overflowing river that is full of queries and mysteries.
