To Love To Be Loved Poem by Carol Tepana

What is love is it a rose,
does anyone know does it flow
like the river that surges through our lands
Is it like the mountains that have jagged edges
that rough terrain, where very few go
to love is to know love, its a feeling that you have in your heart
to share your love is to care for another
A sister a brother, friend or a lover
whom ever you love it will be the one you let go
the one you will never forget how they made you feel
to truly love someone is to release them
they are real for they are true
wanting to be loved by you.
For true love could be right in front
but you are blinded and can not see with your eyes
You test their minds only to find it is not what you seek
See with your heart and you start to come alive this spirit deep inside
shall easy your worries that has once consumed you
pain which lingerers around for its your heart
that yearns to be loved accepting all my flaws
to take me as I am, inspire me and nurture my desires
turn them into reality allowing to love and be loved
I shall return it ten folds, with kisses and embraced in you tender arms
listening, whispering into your ears, sweet words of love. to say you have be loved by me.
I shall now set you free, my love.
