Love Is... Poem by Almedia Knight-Oliver

Love is…
Love is dancing cheek to cheek at the prom
Love is walking hand in hand on the way home
Love is night after night awaiting a call on the phone.

Love is…
Love is tears flowing from cloudy eyes
Love is the trembling heart of the bird that can’t fly
Love is ‘gal keep your skirt down so he not stupefy”.

Love is…
Love is when he ask your parent for your hand
Love is when he says I want to be your husband
Love is you and I exchanging wedding bands.

Love is…
Love is lies, fantasies, grandiose, and half- truths
Love is helping to supply his ‘false-self” while being a deaf- mute
Love completes itself in one or all these truths.
